It's really hard as a parent of a preteen to get on their case for age-normal misbehavior. You're struggling not to laugh because if you send the wrong message it might indicate some things are appropriate when they are not.

Well, Resurrection Day has come and gone (though it remains in our hearts), spring is in the air, summer is just around the corner, the sun is shining, baby birds are singing — which means … (drumroll) … it’s time for the newest issue of Pure in Heart!

Our little magazine has been growing in the number of readers and writers who want to glorify God, and it shows. In our 11th issue, we have a smorgasbord of creative work by kids, teenagers, students, teachers, parents, and writers and artists of all ages and backgrounds. We have a new, two-part saga of our favorite red-headed heroine (Beatrix), a recipe that will change the way you make scrambled eggs forever, poems that will touch your heart, make you smile, and urge you to be a blessing to others, stories that will make you laugh, maybe make you tear-up, and some that will kindle joyful warmth in your heart … and there’s so much more! There’s even a fun drawing game that will get the whole family laughing around the table (we know from experience).
