Recently, I reached out to my nephew who has been incarcerated for more than 6 years. Each time I include Scripture in my correspondence, always looking to see how he responds. As more and more time drags on, my mind can easily think the worst. But once again, I was blessed by the response I … Continue reading THE INSIDE MAN!

Heavenward!
You took her home 3 years ago. Our hearts were broken in two! Yet a strong desire to be there grew. To know and experience what she now knew.
