Send in your hearts so that others might be encouraged by the gentle whispers of the Lord's love.
Feel free to leave anonymous comments. We know how intimidating and frightening navigating this territory can be. You are not alone...and chances are...you're probably not crazy.
Thanks for the bloglove, Brenda
