Many reading this blog post understand that life can be just plain unfair. At least unfair to our way of thinking. For some of us, it has been. There have been a few events where I would cry, “FOUL! THIS NOT FAIR!” I know there are those women who are not required to walk in…
We were up at 4:30 am to catch our flight to Las Vegas. As I stepped into the shower, Tom said, “Michael Carlisle died of a massive heart attack last night; Duane called just after midnight to tell me.” Michael and Duane were Tom’s prayer partners for many years. They met at the altar on…
I can’t explain why most women desire Motherhood. But we do. Maybe it’s from the beginning of our existence; it’s hard-wired in us.
