The Joy and Heartache of Adoption
We try desperately to stay away from the news. Despite our efforts however, it creeps into our lives. Judge Amy Coney Barrett’s introduction of her family recently did just that. The media pointed out that Judge Barrett spoke about her biological children […]
Defending Ourselves
I am the type of person that avoids confrontation at all costs. It is part of having a background of abuse. It has always been my nature. But, prior to knowing Jesus as my personal Lord and Savior, other aspects of my […]
