I read about this new book from a link I followed on a blog last week. Picking Cotton tells the story about a woman who identified the wrong man after her brutal attack. That man spent 11 years in prison innocent of the charges he was serving. I took the time to watch the video [...]

One site I enjoy looking at is One Pretty Thing. They post a round up of crafty ideas from around the web. Sometimes there is a recipe round up, or party ideas.

I thought I’d share a picture with you today. It’s Lee’s radio from prison. James has appropriated it and has it on his dresser. It’s quite funky looking. Lee had to order it from the canteen and if he wants another one he’ll have to buy a new one. Unfortunately, we won’t be able to [...]

I realized the other day that I hadn’t shared from my journals in a long time. As I paged through them, I was blessed at all the things that I wrote down. It’s amazing how alive God’s Word is. I love how verses spoke to me one way then and they minister to my heart [...]
