A Funny Frustrating Night
Last night ended up being chaotic and a tiny bit funny. Unfortunately a little fur creature was in the bathroom yesterday. We have three bathrooms and I can say it was not mine. Dad had apparently declared it ‘boiled’ when he himself left for work. Once he was gone it was quite certain the thing…

Star of Wonder Day 13
This morning being able to read this first thing, was such a refresher to my soul. This is the final day of the Prophecy Chapters. What do you know about this man and his big important sounding name? Honestly this story seemed lost to me on the major details. I have heard of the name…
