Yeah, that’s not the word you expected…just think on it a bit and it will make sense. Before I get started here, so it’s said, we are back from our trip and have been for over two months now. Part of my resistance to continuing with this blog is due to my concern that my … Continue reading The Earth and Her Abundants
