In my last post called Sideways, I said I would let you know what I discovered about myself after moments of quietness with God. I have been awake with no alarm the past two days between 5:00 and 5:30am. Funny, how God provides a spirit of restlessness when I need to spend extra time with [...]

What Will They Say?

I attended a memorial service last night for a 49-year old woman named Donna, who died from breast cancer.   My connection to Donna was though her niece.  My husband and I are working with the niece and her fiancé on their pre-marital mentoring.  The service was beautifully done with many pictures and videos of this [...]
