When You’re Outside the Circle

Girls. Girls, grab hands. Tammy, let Marcella in. Denise, right here, dear.” Our Bluebird leader motions with her head toward a gap she’s formed for the stragglers.

She teaches the girls a new song: “Make New Friends”

Make new friends, but keep the old;
One is silver and the other’s gold.

Traveling to Indiana & Iowa

I’m speaking in both Indiana and Iowa in October–Starting with the Greencastle Christian Church “Fall Fashion Swap” where I’ll be sharing “Cute Shoes…But Can You Walk in Them?” and finishing up with Des Moines’ Capitol City Baptist Church as part of their “Relax, Refresh, Renew” Fall Retreat. Many Stonecroft gatherings, too. Find the entire schedule here.
