Happy New Year! It has been quite a while since I have written anything. I could blame it on the “holiday rush,” but that would be disingenuous. I was just too scattered in my various projects…everything from making birthday and Christmas cards to writing new talks for some 2016 events to trying to stay healthy!…
God’s Love…and Rainbows
A week ago, I had an emotional day, and I imagine it was also difficult for many who hold fast to the idea of traditional marriage.
