Glory to the Light of the World
If life had gone according to my will, this was to be Vivienne’s first Christmas.
Desperate for Community
I was looking for divine comfort as I tried to prepare myself for having to be induced
Retreat Gratitude
I just HAD to drop a line to share some feelings I had about this weekend.
