Who Is Nebuchadnezzar?
Have you ever known a really big, strong, tough guy with an incredibly soft and tender heart? Maybe you’ve seen the old movies, Kindergarten Cop or The Pacifier. In both movies the plot is basically the same.

In 2nd grade, a fireman came to our elementary school for fire safety week and showed a short film about a little girl who was trapped in her second-story bedroom by a house fire.

From the moment we discovered we would be grandparents, he was determined to make the same kind of impact on our grandsons, and now that the boys are ages six and four, I’ve seen a really cool bond already forming. (Of course, the girls love Grampy too, but they like Grammy’s ...
