Aspen Black, a seemingly ordinary woman of the compound, transformed into the utter bane of my existence in just a matter of months.

If it’s the very last thing I do.

Carolina Brown couldn’t be more different than her mama if she tried - and truthfully most of us believe she worked hard at precisely that.

I’d reckon that just maybe it does.

It was certainly a miracle that I’d forgotten my cell phone after giving my Christmas Eve sermon, and had to race back to the sanctuary in order to retrieve it.
