While Jesus was in one of the towns, a man came along who was covered with leprosy. When he saw Jesus, he fell with his face … Continue reading Social and Spiritual Distancing →

I’m having an identity crisis!  I’m not who I thought I was.  I’m not who anybody thinks I am!  Let me explain. I was born as Susan Dianne Enyeart.  But I have used my middle name my whole life.  So to make things easier, when I got married I went to the Social Security office … Continue reading Desperately Avoiding Susan →
