Back to school

When I sat down this morning, I had no idea what I would write about, but God came through. I opened a document that I began writing the other day and at the top was my life verse. It fits perfectly with my upcoming week, and surely there are many people out there who are …

When I was a little girl, I kneeled next to my bed every night and said my prayers out loud with my hands clasped, my head lowered, and my eyes closed. At some point, I stopped praying that way and instead said them silently as I laid in bed, most of the time falling asleep …
