I’m beyond thrilled for you to meet my friend Sharon Butler who is this month’s “Friend Poster”. I’d introduce her myself, but I can’t beat her own beautifully spoken bio…so the rest is Sharon: —————————————————————————————————————————————– These days, I am the wife of a crazy redheaded …
It seems it’s been a long week. I’m seriously contemplating painting my whole house black. Oh, but that’s not a depression-induced choice, it’s just I’ve been looking at my finger-smudged, crayon sullied walls and I’m wondering what color might absorb some of that mess. Still, …
Hi, I’m a mother…and I make mistakes. My pastor spoke briefly today on the Proverbs 31 woman. If you haven’t heard of her, she basically embodies all the wonderful and ideal qualities a wife or mother could ever possess: she’s waking up early, running her …
