I asked Siri to explain what Good Friday means: the Friday before Easter Sunday, on which the Crucifixion of Jesus Christ is commemorated in the Christian Church.

His Desire for Me
So much of this earthly life is lived in limbo!

My 28th Birthday Gift!
Many jump right in to marriage and having babies with childlike naivete. Now within a day of turning 56 years of age, I’m confronted with the depth of immaturity that was my reality especially regarding having babies. My thoughts were continually about myself.

Every “BODY” Matters
Preparing for another "dairy, sugar" fast has me typing out goals for victory! PRAY, PRAY, PRAY Ask someone to commit to doing this fast with me!
