What’s in My Beach Bag?

May 22, 2019 By Dani Pettrey

Looking Back at 2018 and My Word for 2019

December 31, 2018 By Robin Lee Hatcher

Can you believe it's that time again? Time to say farewell to an old year and to welcome a new one. I am not big on New Year's Resolutions, but I do love reflecting on the year just passed and then to look forward with my new word for the year. My word for the past year: My word for 2018 was Grace. "For by grace you have been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the gift … [Read more...]
