Safe in May 2011

On the Road in December 2010

We’re sliding back to first base.             Our Coach had told us to run for second base, but then called us back. When our house was put up for sale, and a buyer signed a contract to buy within 24 hours, we felt God was asking us to pack up and get ready to go. […]
