Delivering the Gift
This weekend my husband and I had the privilege of delivering over $4,000 of Christmas blessings to strangers, on behalf of Hope Community Church – and this is what I learned…
Our Unbelievable Adventure
I’ve told our story about a dozen times or so over the past 3 years, and every time it’s just as marvelous, magical, and unimaginable as when it was all happening and unraveling before our eyes.
