Joy and Pain Mingle
Many things in life come with pain.
The Resurrection brings Peace

December Bride
December Bride: A woman who marries when she is significantly older than most brides. I was a December bride, just as the definition above describes.

Miracles

Warning…Wait…Trust
For and hour and a half, we waited, wondering if we'd need to stay there all night until the storm abated.
