Almost Like Being In Love

by | Jun 8, 2016 | Books/Music, The Magnificent Journey

  I am not a romance novel reader. My mom and aunt would read Harlequin romance novels. I remember when my mom died we got rid of several bag fulls. I read one once and I was not impressed. First, I don’t believe that men act like that. I guess that is why these...

Focus Word: Worship

by | May 18, 2016 | Books/Music, The Magnificent Journey
