We adopted Missy almost a month ago. She's a very well-behaved dog with us, knows how to go potty outside, and can obey simple commands like "sit", "down" and "bed".

The crucified life
I'm on Day 3 of Week 1 of "Living Beyond Yourself"... let's just say I'm still working on the whole time and study with God thing.

I wake up on Sundays and want … Continue reading The true meaning of “blessed”
