Welcome Back Everyone~
I just happened to come across this story while flipping through my television channels today.. 21-year-old Dee Dee Sullivan strives to live her life to the fullest, despite having a very w rare disease called ostegensis imperfecta (a.k.a. brittle bone disease). Approximately 1 in 20,000 birth have this disease; to put this in perspective, in the US alone there are 20 to 50,000 people that suffer from this

Encouragement: Joni & Ken: An Untold Love Story | Blog
Welcome Back Readers~
I don't know about
you, but I am so looking forward to Joni Eareckson Tada next book entitled Joni and Ken: An Untold Love Story. She has always been pretty open about how her diving accident changed the way she looked at life; it was through that experience that she found herself looking upwards to a newfound relationship with Jesus Christ. However, little is known about her budding romance with Ken. Along with stories of her marriage and antidotes on her struggle with cancer, I hope she also tackles how to deal with feelings of inadequacy while you wait for God to bring the right person into your life...Anyway,the book is due in stores April! Take a look at the book trailer below:
