Author R.A. Bridges, Corrie's Mom
Corrie would be proud. The kind of proud when you see the smile on your child's face when he or she dances.

Of course, immediately after we think of cleaning every part of the floor, ensuring broken pieces are in a dust pan, and that no one walks in as you clean up. Maybe after you feel the loss of… Continue reading When We Face what is Broken
