She was smart and pretty and faster than me. She wasn't a Christian, didn't attend church or even ... Read More
“Aren’t you tired?” My friend asked the question over pizza while our kids giggled around us in the booth. “I mean, you’re a mom and you have a busy life with Mercy House and Fair Trade Friday.” Good friends ask hard questions. I thought about her question before I answered it. I stifled a ... Read More
