A Womans Guide to Meeting God
I just returned from speaking in Alabama and on the flight home I caught up on one of my favorite pleasures–travel-time reading. As I read, one line seemed to leap off the page. Recently I’ve had several conversations with women who feel stuck in some area of their life due to fear. I’m afraid I’ll […]
“Happy President’s Day!” said no one ever. Up until this year, President’s Day has meant nothing more to me than a long weekend and killer sales. But this year is different. This year I’m reminded how desperately our leaders on both sides of the aisle need our prayers. The truth is, they have always needed […]
