Reflecting on Mari’s posts…
It’s amazing to me sometimes how I can go days, weeks and sometimes even months without posting anything on Mari’s site and then I will go several days in a row where I have lots to say.

The Journey with Kathy Harris
Please welcome this weeks guest Kathy Harris for The Journey. She answers the question: How have you seen God work in your writing journey?
