"Are not two sparrows sold for a penny?  And yet not one of them will fall to the ground apart from the will of your Father.  And even the very hairs of your head are all numbered.  So don't be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows."      Matthew 10: 29-31

Some of the dearest, godliest, most beautiful women I know are in this photo.

So much talent, smarts, and diversity of skills in this photo!

While I love many things about Indiana winters, I don't enjoy the often-long strings of gray, dreary, gloomy, cloudy days.
