I was blessed to be part of two important church-related activities last Sunday. The first thing was an invitation to share my heartfelt story with Poplar Heights Baptist Church.

Last night at the Gathering, our younger sister, Kate, shared a powerful devotional / message. Kate is a highly motivated, educated, and direct person… and I use those descriptors with a warm heart 🙂 She is passionate about her faith. I am certain that is one of the reasons our eclectic little fellowship loves her…
