Religion

Years ago, I had a friend who was desperately trying to get a book published.
Every time she sent her manuscript out to yet one more publisher, she’d get her hopes up.
“This one could be the one,” she’d tell me.
But it was never “the one,” and she continued to get her manuscript returned, albeit always with a kind rejection letter attached.
She tried to stay positive, but with constant rejection, it began to tax her faith.

“Whoever dwells in the shelter of the most high will rest in the shadow of the Almighty. I will say of the Lord, ‘He is my refuge and my fortress, my God in whom I trust.”
I found an artist on the Etsy website who hand paints scripture verses, white lettering on rustic gray paper.
Earlier this year, during a particularly rough time in our lives, my husband and I went to see a pastor, and at the end of our meeting, the pastor gave us a prescription: Read Psalm 91 together daily.

Every year in early June, we remember the anniversary of the Normandy invasion of World War II commonly called D-day. By the way, the “D” simply stands for whatever day a military assault is planned. For example; D-3 meant three days before a D-Day, while D+7 meant seven days after a D-Day.
On June 6, 1944, America and her allies engaged in one of the most significant military operations of the 20th century. I have been personally touched by war and have a deep appreciation for the service and sacrifice that men and women give to protect our country.
