Do Prayers Really Work?
As the Hurricane raged toward the gulf coast last night, I prayed. I prayed for all those involved. But my two nieces and their families were an incredible burden to my heart. They were in Beaumont, Texas, which, at the time, seemed […]
I Wish My Dad Was Like That
I have spoken about my Dad in previous blogs. He and I had a very difficult relationship. My dad was an abusive alcoholic and I was an angry child. But, deep down, we did love each other dearly. I remember watching shows […]
