Happy Friday! If you celebrate the Easter holiday, I hope you have a really nice Easter weekend. I’m heading home tomorrow so I can attend church with my family. It’s the same church I attended growing up and the people there are like extended family; I’m looking forward to seeing everyone. Enjoy these reads and have a great weekend!
