Writing Utensils are almost a thing of the past! Pens are so hard to come by in our house. It seems like we have a million of them; yet, I can never find one I like when I need it. I am picky about what I write with even just to jot a note down. So many pens to choose I use writing utensils generally because the ink and ball flow smooth and quickly. Usually when I am writing on real paper, I am … [Read more...]

Recently I had the privilege of hearing a series of sermons on prayer.

These messages from God’s Word have been a needed c … [Read more...]

Recently, I had to make such a decision on travel bags. I have all kinds of suit … [Read more...]
