A Good Fable is Worth the Trip!
Photo courtesy of Morguefile June didn't care if the car wasn't able To be conspicous with all of those labels.

I Love Being an Encourager
It took me becoming a blogger to see this calling. I love to write, and, admittedly, seeing less than 20 people read the posts you thought were earth-shattering and would change the world for the better, shakes your faith in your writing abilities and makes you question if God truly meant for you to blog....

Libraries are “Essential” Services: Tale Weaver
