A few weeks ago I read, “Rocket Boys: a Memoir” by Homer H. Hickam. It made me laugh, and it made me cry.

Summertime is the perfect time to try something new. Don’t you think? It has always been that way for me, whether intended or not. I rode a jetski for the first time during the summer of 1989.

Words to live by

As an author and a homeschool mama who happens to be blind, I’ve learned that the only way to make it in this life is to rely fully on God. Best way to do that is read His Word.

 

“I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.” Philippians 4:13 KJV

 

“But my God shall supply all your needs according to his riches in Glory by Christ Jesus.” Philippians 4:19 KJV
