Merry Christmas!
This morning, there was so much sleet and ice that Mark and I and my sister and her husband all stayed home from church. But this evening, I was committed to read a story I’d written at my church’s Christmas Eve service, so in spite of falling snow, Mark and I went. Here is the story I wrote: Continue reading
