Lucky Dorito

Since I seem to have been grumpy regarding men in general, and my sweet Mr. Lucky in particular this week, I suppose it’s time for something nice:

This weekend I’ve been with my sister Lena at a Beth Moore conference. It was just us and about eleven THOUSAND other women. And a few brave men. I have read several of her books over the years and been following her blog but I’d never heard her speak before. I really enjoyed it and [...]
