The older I get the more I enjoy and have a greater understanding of my grandmother, Ruth Bell Graham’s, poems. Through her writings, I feel she is still teaching me a greater biblical understanding on life, on motherhood, as a wife, and as a child of God. I cherish her poetry more and more as I …
It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas! Well, not really, it is still 90 degrees here in Florida, but I can pretend. However, it is National Collection Week for Operation Christmas Child!
