Thee Testimony
Panic. The minute the group leader who just happened to be one of the pastors at my church said, “Each of you will be sharing your testimony during this study. One testimony per week. I’ll pick the person each week.” Yikes! My brain hole started whirl-pooling. Do you all have a brain hole too? Things…

#SayWhat
I was sitting in the craft room at my computer no doubt doing something of no real value when I felt this nudge….“confess.” In my head I said “I’m sorry, #saywhat?” I looked around the room as if someone were there whispering from the hallway. Nothing. So, I shook my head and went back to…
