About five years ago I was leading a growth group at church. On the first night a woman walked in. She was very quiet. She had blond wavy hair, bright blue eyes and she was wearing a Cubs shirt. When the night wound down and we were all walking out, I stopped and asked her …
U-Turn…
In my last post I talked about returning to college to finish my undergrad…well, there’s been an interesting turn of events… All the things were going along swimmingly.
