Raelynn ReaTaking pills, has never been on my favorite list of things to do. While I am going through this process, there is a myriad of different treatments and prescriptions and what not that I need to take. Some of them have to be taken two hours before you have a meal, some need to be …
There are times when we become very aware that God is actively moving in our lives. It’s those times when someone, out of the blue, that you would never expect, walks up and speaks a word from the Lord for you. One of the things that has made this journey exciting (and, yes, I mean …
Update! My youngest daughter surprised Ed and I last week by driving home from Virginia. What a blessing! And the following day, one of her friends from Northern California drove down and another one drove in from LA. They descended on my house like three fairy godmother’s.
