Morning friends, I’m in sunny California FINALLY, after about 10 days of traveling by car with Grace (the dog). Our bike rack broke when we forgot they were mounted on top of the car and went under a canopy of a hotel lobby and we were stuck in Texas trying to get that fixed. Thankfully there was a wonderful car…

Morning friends, Prayers needed. Each morning of this week, I am writing for four to five hours before starting my counseling schedule.
