I am sooooo not into politics---I totally leave that department to my dearest hubby. But, the elections here have caught my attention over the last few months. I have been so grieved by the build up to the election next week. How our Father in heaven must weep over what He sees. Obviously abortion has been in the media regularly.

Where did we begin?Anthony walked into my life in 1996. We KNEW almost immediately that it was no coincidence. We were engaged … [Read more...]
