My Summer (And Two New Covers!)

September 6, 2019 By Jody Hedlund

To me, the first week of September always feels like the end of summer and the beginning of fall. Saying good-bye to summer is bittersweet, isn't it? Mine was full of many happy memories.

A Truly GOOD Friday

April 19, 2019 By Jody Hedlund

Nowadays, for most people Good Friday is just another day. Fewer and fewer people recognize it. Sometimes I even wonder if the holiness and gravity of it is becoming a thing of the past.
