The Email

Clearly from the response after yesterday’s post, there are a bunch of bloggy friends in the same boat –  needing to hear and be encouraged {again!}:  “Those who hope in the Lord will *not* be disappointed.” Well as I mentioned the Lord’s clearing the path on the Freeway {again!} was His whispers that  He cares, He…

Bam! It’s Clear…

Recently I had to drive Dw somewhere.  Ninety-nine percent of the time Dw drives, but since his night had been ridiculously short due to some not-fun circumstances and basically exhausted he had agreed to me driving when I volunteered.  Truthfully, Dw doesn’t love riding.  Many of you feel the same way – ‘let me drive any…
