Childlike Beauty

Yesterday was a good day. The doctor said I could take a real shower and I still have three weeks off my foot. But that’s not the good part. I had a good visit with my parents, but that’s not the good part. I received a beautiful antique vanity, but that’s not the good part. [...]

the good, the bad & the ugly

Friday was a LONG day for me. Unlike many women, shopping is not my forte. It's not even something I really enjoy. I don't mind going with some other women, but even then it's more for the company than the shopping.  The thing is, though, our church is hosting an event called "Jesus in the [...]
