Monday with Michelle- Grace
Grace. His grace abounds, and I see His character in people around. I didn’t deserve to feel good tonight, I thought. My son, who is almost 5 feet tall, pushed a two year old child down on concrete. My son has autism. Probably this week there will be...
Monday with Michelle- Rejection

Have You Checked Your Pride at the Door?
I’ve never really thought of being a person that has PRIDE but recently I’ve discovered it is PRIDE that has gotten in the way for me in more ways than one! This will not be an easy subject for me to discuss because it is hard for a person with pride to admit that...
My Top 5 Money-Saving Tips
