What To Do With Christmas Cards…
Christmas cards so merry and bright. Christmas cards a beautiful sight. Some with pictures from family and friends. Some with letters telling us where all they've been. All with good wishes for a holiday so grand. And for those who didn't get cards sent, a yearly hope...
What Was She Thinking?
No ultrasound. No due date. No delivery room. No prenatal care. No birthing classes. What was Mary thinking as she walked the long dirt road to a town miles away from her home and her own mother, not knowing when this baby she was carrying would be born? Can you...
