Thoughts Along Life's Journey
I heard the mailman at my door this morning so I went to see what had arrived. There was an advertisement for pizza, another advertisement for a sale at a furniture store, and a white envelope. I turned the envelope over and was just… Continue Reading “Heavenly Mail”
I did something earlier in the week that I had, at one time, told myself I would never do again. I watched a Lassie movie. I knew what it would do to me. Yes, floods of tears as dear Lassie was lost from her… Continue Reading “Just Passing Through”
