Second Chances I love second chances. Whether they are a second chance at love, or a second chance with family after a mistake. I can’t get enough of the joy that comes from thinking you’ve reached the end and God says, “Hold on. Let’s try this.” And of course, it’s perfect because it was God’s […]
Dear Dakota…
Dear Dakota, I know you told me to leave well enough alone. I tried. I really did. Okay, I didn’t try. Sorry for lying. I believe everyone needs a second chance, even you.
