This is a post I originally published on August 30, 2011, long before I had the joy of meeting Mandisa in a Bible study we both attended in a friend's home here in Nashville a handful of years ago. As everyone says, she was—and still is—the real deal. I'm heartbroken over her passing, but her openness and transparency encouraged me then, and still does today. I originally entitled this August … [Read more...]
Mary Had a Little Lamb . . . and so did I!
