Signing For Our Lives

Posted on May 3, 2017 By Sister Rain

I like to joke that even when I had no vision at all, much to my husband’s dismay, I could still sign a credit card receipt. Although I do have some sight, I cannot see what I am writing. I always had extremely good printing and friends say I still…

I spent the first twenty-five minutes of today searching for an earring I dropped on the floor. Every Monday is like the start of a week-long blind date for all of us. We don’t know what’s going to show up, whether we’ll get along or if it will end in…
