Yes, it’s already the end of the day on Monday.  Monday’s are so busy—tennis, piano, trumpet…and the list goes on!  I’m thrilled to be living here with a wonderful family and wonderful friends, young and old. My Bible study is really wonderful right now—talking about how God uses, even allows, difficult times to grow us […]
