This year I decided to do something that I have never wanted to do before. Plant flowers. I guess I didn't really decide to though. They were 2 potted hydrangeas and were supposed to go to one of my dearest friends, but she didn't have a place for them. She wanted me to take them … Continue reading There Is Hope
I had a dream I have a lot of dreams. I had a bunch last night (none of them last night were good). But the dream I share about in my new post for Candidly Christian was a good dream, that I didn't want to end. As we come out of Mother's Day, and today … Continue reading I Had A Dream…

“When we go to Florida, angels will protect our plane”. Olivia said that a few weeks ago. I didn’t even know she really knew what an angel was. I mean they are in some of the Bible stories we read to her but, I am pretty sure we have never told her what their roles … Continue reading Who Is God?
