I was speaking to a group recently and I was asked about the process to develop faith. I wish there was a five-step technique. Or a ten-week practice. Or a three-tiered approach. There is no such thing...
Missing my beloved husband today. There seems to be reminders everywhere I look. Be sure to hug and kiss your loved ones and tell them that you love them. Life is fragile and unpredictable.
