I love to read! When I was younger, I had plenty of books to read. More importantly, though, I had plenty of bookmarks for my books! Some bookmarks had cute pictures on them, but most of them had inspiring quotes or messages. As you know, I published a book last…

There is something so relaxing about Sundays. It is like a gift from heaven. As I write this, I’m enjoying my time alone with God. That’s what Sundays are all about for me. Yes, you get to go to church and see your friends and other Christians, but it is…
