Thank you so much for all you do for our Jeff Co families! ~ Judge A. Meinster“No one parents effectively by accident. Effective parenting must be intentional; it must be planned, focused, and have an expected end in mind. Good parents don’t leave the job to chance; they do everything they can to prepare themselves and to know what they are doing.”-Dr. Myles Munroe
