Life in the cold

January 26, 2016 by Barbara

If you've been reading here for awhile, you know our story of moving from Ohio to Arizona then from Arizona back to Ohio. You can find it by clicking here: Moving On.

April 13, 2015 by Barbara

I’ve been blogging about how God brought my husband and I to Arizona, from Ohio, over 25 years ago. You can read the previous posts under the category, “Moving On.” In Part 3, I mentioned that we were thinking about moving to either North Carolina, Ohio or staying in Arizona.

Welcome!


Hi Friend, Welcome to my corner of the online world, where I write to encourage and give hope. I believe everyone could use a dose of hope from time to time so whether you need hope for your marriage, your closet, or anything in between, I hope you find some encouragement here.
