The Old Lady In the Mirror 1/12/2022 - As I have gotten older, it is sometimes hard to grasp that I am actually 63 years old. I don’t “feel” my age (and my husband can confirm that I don’t ACT my age either!) A few years back I was talking about this very thing with Mrs. Terry Bright.

A Love Too Big For Heaven 12/15/2021 - It’s Christmastime! It’s time to have all the feels about sweet Baby Jesus born in a manger! We don’t like to see the cross when we’re looking into the Christmas manger, but maybe we need to.
