Admittedly, I am a hippie. A yoga practicing, Birkenstock wearing, tree hugging, vegetarian, peace, love and happiness hippie. I’d rather go the holistic route than any other because that’s what works for me. I don’t want or even try to impose my ideas on others, I don’t want the responsibility for one thing and who amContinue reading “Meet Dawn Collins”

Ashes to ashes . . .
In reading and thinking about Lent and what to share I read this article by Sandy. I thought it can’t get much better. With Sandy’s permission I am sharing with you.

Fashion Show-Barbara

This sermon gave some “twist of thought”, for me to feed on. The minister used the scripture reading in Luke1:5-25. WeContinue reading “Is Doubt Benefical”
