…That’s me. Or is it? In case you missed my first three instalments: Part One – The Husband Part Two – The Groomsmen Part Three – The Letters Today, I want to share a little part of my story as a “bride” with you all. My wedding day, the day I married Johnny, was absolutely …
Cold all the time? I used to be known for it. Also for genuinely never sweating, never turning red when I worked out, and having dryer than dry skin, especially in the winter. Well, guess what? I typically sweat easily now (the underboob sweat I never related to is real), actually LOOK like I went …
In storybooks and seasons past, “Church” is seen as a service to attend for one boring hour on Sunday mornings in order to “keep right” with a distant God who might otherwise look sourly at us from His lofty place above. I think, when Christian beliefs are not openly talked about, it is common to …
