I am beginning to see a message… Or could it actually be a warning? Every book I have been reading recently has a chapter on fear.

Book Review: If You Only Knew… By Jamie Ivey

It’s that time. The time when you grab a cup of coffee, or book mark this page so you can come back and sit down with a warm steaming drink in a cozy chair and we can talk. Or I can entertain you with some nonsense that occurred to me that is still boggling myContinueContinue reading “Book Review: If You Only Knew… By Jamie Ivey”
