“I know nothing in the world that has as much power as a word. Sometimes I write one, and I look at it, until it begins to shine.” ― Emily Dickinson In my morning devotions, I was reading in the book of James about the tongue and how difficult it is to bridle, how it’s […]
[Continue reading...]So, today is my 1 month blogging anniversary. I think I have managed to post almost every single day of that month, even though some days were more challenging than others.

This post will be dedicated to my younger sister, Deanna, who will be a year younger than me tomorrow. My sister has been my biggest fan from day one. As soon as she was able to walk and talk she also deemed herself my protector. The sad thing about this is that I didn’t have […]
