Sitting here staring out the window, that stack of Christmas cards in front of me is now the furthest thing from my mind… I find myself distracted by the morning light that’s just beginning to peek through the windows. It looks like the birds are waking up too. I can see that there’s a little…
Read MoreA Disappointing Sunrise—A Hope Filled Sunset!
Oh no! What was that noise? Without moving, or even peeking out from under the covers, I knew what that noise was: it was rain. My heart sank! Yesterday’s weather forecast sure was wrong.
