When All is Said and Done
I just finished updating the “Important ‘After the Fact’ documents to make matters easier to be closed and dispersed” for my children. No, I am not planning a sooner than later departure from earth to heaven, but in the grand scheme of God’s plans, I want to help alleviate family concerns should the “sooner” come…
This is OUR Season
I drove by this graduation-decorated car at McDonald’s yesterday. I turned around to take the photo of it as I knew a blog would be forthcoming! What a way to start a graduation day — having a hearty meal at McDonald’s! I can only imagine what else this day would hold for their student. My…
