Beyond those smiles are tears… lost…looking back on those memories of winter gone by, hoping for a joyful future Philippians 3:13-14 Each step in the present brings us forward to a new life, a life though unknown, lives by faith, trusting thatContinue reading “Winter Hope”

I have been called different names. My name has been mispronounced several times by people. So, I always give out the cut version to make it easier for people to say it.
