Mom said GIGO (garbage in, garbage out)

When I was moving house, I re-discovered my old journals. I always knew where they were, but I briefly flipped through them... I have two types of journals: One is linked to Bible reading, in which I write down thoughts...

Dad was so sweet. He texted me yesterday, something to the effect of, "Congratulations on your second day at the new job! How's it been so far?" I looked at the message and wondered, "How did he know I was...

Trusting God
