For decades, reading has been the highlight of my day. I enjoy the simplicity of stories, especially those of encouragement.

Remember our words can be powerful weapons which can destroy and cause harm. They can also be like "water in the desert" during seasons of drought. I want my words to honor God and bring glory to His name.
