Munchkin’s road to getting a license has been a long one mainly because she really didn’t have an interest in driving. Since she attends college classes every day and there have been a couple of instances where I couldn’t get over to pick her up right away due to some complications with other events, she slowly began to see the importance of being able to drive. With that realization and the expiration of her learner’s permit looming, she really applied herself to getting comfortable with driving. We have 2 full size trucks – one of which is a lifted, manual…

Glory Days by Max Lucado

Posted in Christian Life, and Reviews

I received a review copy of this book from Family Christian. Can I let you in on a little secret? I never intended on reviewing Glory Days.

The book was already on its way to me, so I knew that I was meant to read it.
