Happy November, friends! Traditionally in November, I write daily in my gratitude journal; but this year, I’m doing what I’m calling “Pinecones & Praise” - little did I know that it would tie into this month’s Scripture memory verse. I’ve been thinking about Hurricane Helene and the wild adventure I experienced the day she blew through. I’ll never forget the unction that moved me when looking out the kitchen window and seeing one of our 65 foot white pines leaning toward the garage. ...
