Jesus, Jesus, Jesus, sweetest name I know. Fills my every longing, keeps me singing as I go. My forties have been a wild ride in more ways than one.

An April Update | I’m Renting Another Booth!
Happy Sunday, friends! I’m excited about today. Easter baskets are set out for my children, and we plan to have an egg hunt soon. Oh, and we possibly will color eggs. It should be a very fun Easter. I came home last night with the surprise of a few new books to study in the…
