One of my very favorite authors (and the very first blogger I read!) is Angie Smith. I was able to hear her speak last year at a women’s conference and she is just as real and honest in person as she is in her writing. I was recently able to read her latest book, […]
Retreat Squared
April 7, 2014 by
The last few weekends for us have been so lovely- last weekend was spent just hubby and I at a church-planter’s retreat. We had three full, uninterrupted nights of sleep and that was just amazing! We ate 8 meals without having to get up and get more water or wipe a snotty nose or wipe […]
Precious Memories
