The Dangers of Following Your Heart

In a few weeks I am going to a Casting Crowns concert with a friend. One of the opening bands is Sanctus Real. Since I wasn’t familiar with their music I decided to get their newest CD to listen to before the concert. The whole...

To Be Despised by All but God

Marigolds, Mouthwash, and Music – My Anniversary Tuesday Three

Today is my husband’s and my 25th anniversary. It’s such a special occasion that I decided I wanted to post something about it today. At one time, it was not a big deal for marriages to last 25 years because hardly anyone got divorced. But...

Your Love Heals – A Poem
