Celebrating Thanksliving Every Day of the Year

Beth Ann Chiles/ Devotional, Thoughts, Writing/ 35 Comments/ 893

Have you ever stopped to think about that? You. Are. An. Original. There is only one of you. You are uniquely made. You might have children and siblings who are similar in some ways but let’s just face it — each of us is indeed Continue reading →

Old Girls in Low Cotton
by Helen Childress
