Let’s Be Blessing Machines
I read about Blessing Machines in a devotional. A Vicar of the Church of England, in his attempt to describe the Church and faithful people, spoke of God’s children as being Blessing Machines. I love that! As Carl and I are diligently working on his estate sale, his daughter came over to help us in…
Those Insatiable Mosquitoes
I simply went out on my patio to water my one and only plant, my basil plant, which I might add has been flourishing. I have been thoroughly enjoying my caprese salads!

Being Difference Makers
