Today I feel like I’m on the episode of “Survivor” when they remember all of the people who were voted off the island. God had blessed me with some great men in my life…but over the past few years some of the men have been removed from my life. I am blessed that my fatherContinue reading “Happy Fathers Day”

Uncharted territory
