It should have been the happiest day of her life. Her wedding. It was not. She felt fear, hurt. She was scared. For the moment though she was safe - protected by her veil. Hidden by her veil.

Against all odds
We can all have bad days, hard days, days that could be considered a waste of makeup! Days when we think it's just us against the world.

In my Father’s House
I sat in an empty church the other day. One that I don't attend, or ever have for that matter. But as it so happened, my Father was taking the services there.

Lessons from a Pearl
Pearls are an interesting jewel. They say that pearls are queen of gems and the gem of queens. Beautiful, valuable, fragile even - Cleopatra dissolved one in a glass on wine and drank it. In Matthew 13 Jesus tells a parable - "Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant seeking beautiful pearls, who,… Continue reading Lessons from a Pearl
