Ever been told to "Let it go?" We heard the song for one whole summer after practically every little girl in America had seen the Walt Disney movie; Frozen.

It’s Palm Sunday! Rejoice!
Happy Palm Sunday! Here's my crooked little cross made from a palm branch. It's far from perfect; just like me! But I'm redeemed, and Jesus lives in my heart!
