There is a common plot theme. A crime is committed, the police find and arrest the bad guy (or gal), … Continue reading Busted!
God wired my brain to make random connections come together like oddly shaped puzzle pieces. Then when the puzzle is finished, I can stand back and see what He gave me to share with you. It is my own brand of sunshine and I am happy to shine with you! Ponder: To throw together, confer, … Continue reading Ponder my brand of sunshine
