Ruthie had her lesson plan in hand. “Yep, all here.”
Ruthie thought about her student, Mrs. Frankel, a seventy-five-...

My favorite day has come and gone. On Friday I knew that on Sunday I would not be at service. I was tired, my children were tired and my sweetie was tired.

Sunday is my favorite day. I wake up anticipating the words that I will hear as I attend service. Today I woke up in anticipation which became irritation. I overslept and I was tired. I wanted to listen to Charles Stanley but I could not. Because I had overslept that meant no one bothered to...

Yesterday was my favorite day. I woke up in the usual manner excited and anticipating what was going to happen to me today. I bounced into the service full of energy and full of dance. I exchanged hugs and kisses, shout outs and what ups with the adults and the kids. I always make sure I say...
