We’ve been walking through a rough summer. If you are on my email list, you know a bit of my house woes. If you are from Texas, you might know some of our other stresses due to my husband’s former job. Not to mention health issues of several close friends, lots of travel and job stress. The Lord has been faithful in many, many ways, not the least of which have been through our … [Read more...]
