Best friends are the best! You get to experience life with a special person who knows you in and out. Both good and bad times are spent together and you love each other through thick and thin. Life with a best friend is truly a blessing. There is nothing more…
Friendship
This week our church had a prayer drive around Nashville…the city we call home. Nashville is still on pretty tight lock-down regarding get togethers. We all met in the church parking lot, followed along with the map provided and listened to pre-recorded prayers when we came to our next location….
I hear so much about how everyone is glad to have 2020 over and how they’re done with the year. Yes, this year has been long, but I still can’t believe it’s over. I feel like we lived in a murky vacuum of time and as much as I know…
Whew! It’s been a long two months…a long two months of people dying, a long two months of watching funerals on the screen and not in person, a long two months hearing about sickness, and a long two months trying to make things normal when we all know they’re far…

It’s been an interesting few months in our household. I’m not really sure how to describe it all except to say that we have been able to see God working in our lives in so many ways. Of course, we have been looking to God for Him to provide answers….
Disagreements. Hardache. Beliefs. Hatred. Confusion. I’m not sure there are many happy stories to tell about Gettysburg, PA back in the Civil War. On those fatal days in July 1863, around 50,000 soldiers were casualties of the war; either injured or dead from the fights. Houses and barns were taken…
