I’m someone that learns from object lessons and word pictures. It’s a total God thing, and I appreciate that He created me that way. Recently He gave me a marriage object lesson and it helped me so much I thought I would share it. This is for married couples, especially those who have been married a few years.

Wow! This blogging through the alphabet is winding down. I’ve had fun with this, and today the letter is “S.” I thought today I’d share a little about my WIP, my fiction work in progress, SPECTACULAR Falls.

RANDOM -I think I heard the best wedding toast this weekend. [...]

I thought I had a good grasp on compassion and understanding toward families with special need situations. Then we encountered seasons with our youngest where she was quite ill or not meeting developmental goals, and we entered the outer skirts as a family with unique needs. We still don’t have the minute to minute, day to day circumstances that many families do, and how I wish they received more cards [...]
