Today I am praying for trust. Dear Heavenly Father, Thank you for this beautiful day upon which we open our eyes. Today may our spirits be renewed and our weariness be lifted. Trust is a huge topic in the aviation community. It takes a lot of trust to be apart and live two separate but …
I’m always buying random books on marriage when I run across them. I do this for a couple of reasons. Firstly, I am an admitted book hoarder. My loving husband designed me a beautiful built-in bookshelf that sits adjacent to my office. It is filled to the brim with books I’ve read, books I want …
