I received an email this A.M. that I found fascinating and gave me cause to pause and wonder to ponder so I am passing on the question. I was asked:

Friend?

Mother-In-Law?

 But That’s What I Hear
 
You call me first instead of waiting

Prep for a trip to Colorado….

     Well, for the first time in a very long time, I am preparing to fly solo from my family for a week. I am signed up to help with apartment ministry through our church. At first I confess it was utterly terrifying to think of Mat and Abbey and Diallo baching it for a [...]

For my beautiful home
