Here’s how I’d sum up the readings from Saturday. Be the rock on which all may count on. Let your faith be the cornerstone for your everyday. Know with certainty that God is with you. Let your light shine on all around you. Be humble, and be sure of the good you can do; be …
From The Roof-Top, For The Girls!
Rounding out our celebration week for our two daughters' birthdays, I stand on the roof-top with a trumpet and play it to the heavens.
