Prayer and The Everyday Doubter
I have a secret. And for a Christ-loving, church-going Jesus girl, it’s kind of a dirty secret.
Lady Jayne Disappears: A Book Review
I recently read a new novel written by a friend of mine, Joanna Davidson Politano. The book, Lady Jayne Disappears, is part mystery, part intrigue, part romance, and all-together hard to put down until the last page. (My children were thrilled the evening I was so absorbed in this book that all plans for supper…
