Posted on May 24, 2019 by suemariericker

With the Eyes of Another

Posted on November 30, 2018 by suemariericker

Posted on February 22, 2018 by suemariericker

It’s funny watching my bulky cat attempt to fit into a small box; when I watch her, the motto, “If it fits, it sits!” comes to mind.  Now, I know that isn’t exactly how the saying originated, but many cat … Continue reading →

How are Christians Supposed to Live?

Posted on January 26, 2018 by suemariericker
