Abnormal is Greater Than Normal
My family isn’t normal. Probably no surprise since I write about being a “hot mess”. Some of that probably rubs off, right? Or maybe they contributed to my hot mess status. The latest news is that my daughter got a Morticia tattoo. She is in […]
Seeking Surrender
In January, I said that my word of the year was surrender. Now, there are probably some other words I might use that can’t be included in a Christian blog😊 All kidding aside, it’s November and, if I’m honest, I’m still not doing that well […]
