The Life Lesson That Hurricane Harvey Has Taught Us
It’s currently 12:32 a.m. By all accounts, I should be in bed. I have 5 teens/preteens to get up and out the door in roughly 5 hours. Why, then, am I writing a blog post? Well, when the spirit strikes you listen…that’s what writers do. I’ll make this one short and sweet because, despite what the spirit may think, I’m darn tired. Let’s talk about Hurricane Harvey for a moment, shall we? My husband spent over 2 years in Texas on a mission with his National Guard unit, specifically in the Austin area.

Friendship…The Ultimate Simple Gift
FRIENDS…..A simple enough concept and yet complex just the same. Shall I explain? Ya see, I”ve had lots of friends in my life time. Friends that come, friends that go, friends that take and friends that give. I have had best friends break my heart and I even have a best friend from grade school who still to this day, almost 30 years after we first met, is still the first person I tell almost everything to! Almost! Ha! I got on Facebook a few years ago and just recently was able to reconnect with my best friend from Kindergarten! That meant the world to me. I have new friends…
