Thanks for stopping by Cora, Sarah and T.
ReplyDeleteCora, I know exactly what you mean about avoidance being easier. Every once in a while, though, I get this boost of courage and face something I would normally run from. Thanks be to God.
Sarah, your enthusiasm is so delightful. . . refreshing.
T., my honour and privilege to share a meal with you.
