I’m not sure if the 2 1/2 cups of coffee I’ve had or the abundant sunshine in Chicago have anything to do with my energy level today, but I feel so happy I could explode and therefore felt compelled to write another post on optimism to follow up on yesterday’s…because it’s just one of those… Continue reading DREAM BIG: Nothing is impossible with God

Easter Sunday: HE IS RISEN!
