Why a Quarterly Report If truth be told, and I am a truth agent, I do these for me. I like to look back at the three months and take inventory, per se. But, this third quarter of 2021 was admittedly one of the worst periods of my life. I was quite unwell. July The… [Read More]

Five Minute Friday: Care
Kate said care. When I was a little girl we attended Grace Bible Chapel, a Brethren Assembly Fellowship, Exclusive… don’t ask.
