I’ve always considered myself to be a pretty positive person. Usually by the time I’m able to lift my head up from a bad situation I’ve already come up with a list of ways that I can see God using it for good in my life.   On the other hand, if you’ve lived much […]

  I Have NO Time For You Right Now!   I can have dishes in the sink, children who need baths, paper work to finish, graphics to design, pictures to mail off, and still, if you ask me to do something else, most of the time I say “okay” Why is that? Why add one […]
