I have been using Grace & Peace as my complimentary close on my blog for a while, and have used it on my emails for a long time before that. I had wanted to find something that would express more meaning than the usual closings: Sincerely, Best Regards, Love, and the Christian favorite — Yours …
Out of control, that's how I'm feeling today. I'm sure I'm not the only one. I'm currently staying with my sister-in-law and brother-in-law, having evacuated due to wildfires. I'm pretty confident my house will not burn down but the air quality was beyond breathable. Even here it is heavy with smoke. My poor dog is …
I want to thank my readers for allowing me to sort through my faith in this blog. Each Friday post provides me with a way back to God. So often during the week I am submerged in life’s overwhelming ocean of disappointments, challenges, and stresses. Here I find my anchor as I gaze back onto …
