Mark 3:24-25 It doesn’t take more than a few minutes of scrolling social media or watching the news to see that our country is severely divided. I honestly fear for the future of…
My husband and I took a long drive to south Texas this last weekend for an anniversary trip. Let me start by saying – Can you believe it’s been 8 years of marriage? I remember sharing with my blog readers when we first began dating and how you all walked with me through the mess….
