5 Fun Ways to Improve Your Grammar

Dream a New Dream
Tweet “You are never too old to set another goal or to dream a new dream.” C.S. Lewis I love that C.S. Lewis quote. It reminds me that there’s always something new to focus on, a new goal to set, no matter what age we are. I could never fully subscribe to the “If you…

Blogging for God
Tweet Like many, I felt called to blog. It was actually my husband, Terry, who first introduced me to blogging less than 1½ years ago.
