Just a Blink Readers: Hang on with me…I may be going off the deep end with my next post series (which may take form in monthly or daily posts depending on how it goes). hmmm…I sure hope there are floaties in the deep end. Anyway, there will be plenty of craftiness and photos of the [...]
Sometimes He calms the child. Sometimes He calms the storm.
Ryan and I walked toward the doctor’s office from the van. He was visibly nervous about seeing the eye specialist.
