Happy Friday, friends! I am so excited for this Scripture Memory Team to gather again! And this week, we are on our 5th verse! During this season at home, I have had my index cards with my verses on them in my kitchen propped up near my kitchen desk. Now that I am going out and about a bit more, I am going to punch holes in the left hand corner of the cards and put them on a metal ring clip so that I can take them with me in my coming and going. I hope that you are finding encouragement ... Read More about Scripture Memory Team 2020 – Verse 5

Being Present over Being Perfect
I just want to say, I like my Carroll nose that I inherited from my mother's side of the family. I haven't always felt this way.
