Israel prevailed over the army of Amalek because of the assistance of Hur and Aaron. Many of you provided the encouragement I needed for this month of no sugar … Continue reading Thirty Days Completed

Day Twenty-six (Aiming High)
Day 26 No sugar or dairy As the grandson napped, I zipped through some Bible reading, laundry, and much needed ironing.
