Be Prepared

March 16, 2020 By Lynn Austin

There’s no escaping the news, the fear, the warnings. The Coronavirus is coming! Beware! Be ready! I understand that I should be worried—after all, I’m over sixty and that puts me at a greater risk of dying if I do contract the virus. But strangely, I’m not worried.

Celebrating Milestones

March 3, 2020 By Tamera Alexander

In Need of Hope

January 22, 2020 By Dani Pettrey

Happy Wednesday, friends! I’m excited to be here with you today! Thanks for taking the time to drop by and say hi. I really appreciate it. A few years ago, I did a project called Alphabet for the Soul and each week I’d share a word that started with the letter I was on—A-Z.
