In the midst of all the Covid-19 craziness I was reminded of a few things this morning as I looked out my window. The most awe inspiring, calming moment though was when the words "God is good" came to my mind. The words flooded throughout me when I looked at the gorgeous sunrise -- The …
Deficit or Blessing?
I have an outstanding memory. It's a gift I both embrace and cherish. My husband always jokes that if one day my memory becomes "average" that's when he'll start to worry.
