Holiday Update for Readers

I meant to post last week that I would be taking an extended holiday break. I will start posting again on the third Thurs in January.

In the meantime, readers, I hope you have a restful and rejuvenating holiday season. If you are recovering from abuse, you too can take a break and focus on enjoying your present blessings. If you are still in an abusive environment, remember that there are many older posts on this blog that you may find beneficial.

May God bless each of you by filling and surrounding you with his loving presence during the next weeks.
