… no, actually it was the worst of times. Zoey was at my door and Hunter was at Jenna’s when I got up. I opened the windows onto a clear, beautiful morning and immediately understood. Roofers were on the house across the way. My cats hate roofers. They are loud and unpredictable. I let them…

Notes from the Journey
Think About It

7 Warning Signs
Seeing God Everywhere
And God saw everything that He had made, and behold, it was very good (suitable, pleasant) and He approved it completely.

That is not the choice. You must take it. The only choice is how. Henry Ward Beecher It is always the…
Chirp!!
Loud chirps drew me to the window. On the lawn, were four robins. The adult (red breast), was hopping about doing what robins do.

But the thing that sets this show apart is that Mina and Karen NEVER raze…
