The Lord works in mysterious ways. How many times have you heard that before? We use those words all the time. I have to admit thought that more recently that became very real for me. Let me explain. My wife is away this weekend on the Walk to Emmaus as a part of the leadership [...]

I wish I could take total credit for this but I can’t. You see the idea for this came to Kristy when she was in the shower one day. She called me a shared it with me. I liked it so I added some to it but the base idea for this is clearly her’s. [...]
