What’s Your Ripple Effect?
source As I stated a couple of weeks ago, we love to go camping. The kids could spend hours "filling up the lake." [aka Throwing rocks in the water.] I love to watch the waves ripple from the various sized rocks that the kids pick up. Then sometimes a boat goes by.

Something that all "good Christian ladies" have on their daily ...

Are You Connected?
Can I take a moment to tell you how excited I am about 2015? Call me crazy but I am pumped to see what God has in store for us. The good. The bad. The ugly. I know that if our anchor is secure in Him we will look back on 2015 as a time of growth. I have begun writing the first ...
