Each Sunday I like to post one of my amateur nature pictures along with a thought about God, in hopes that it encourages you on this day of rest. You can love it, hate it, agree, disagree, but know this, you didn’t find this post by accident. I shared a couple weeks ago on Facebook about my lack of peace regarding something in my life that has burned me and left me emotionally scarred, if you will.

Character Confession: Selfish is as Selfish Does

Posted by Julie on February - 11 - 2012

It’s good to be back Saturdays blogging about my week. It’s Character Confession time, and I got a real eye opener last week. So did a lot of women who decided to fend for themselves. I was on a cruise ship for the first time in 16 years. We had an entire day on sea and the winds were rough, clocking in at about 35mph. The ship was swaying and I felt green.
