Dear God,
I started this journey almost 35 years ago. It has had several ups-and-downs, but you have always been there through them all, waiting patiently in the background for me to see you. I caught glimpses of you every once in a while, but never really recognized exactly how you fit into the picture. We were . . . → Read More: Signed, Sealed, Delivered – I'm Yours

My new favorite song…
Coming Home
By John Legend
A father waits upon a son
