Oklahoma is not OK.It is another week with another story that makes me drop to my knees and pray for all those who have to bear a ridiculous amount of pain.People wonder why I pray so much. I pray because it is my lifeline. I pray because I believe it changes things, I believe that because…
Last night my eldest daughter was confirmed. I thought it was pretty neat that this was happening on Pentecost weekend since the date for Confirmation is pretty random.
