About mid-day on Wednesday, I started going through Anita’s “GOD” file and reading about her struggles that she gave up to God. The [...] From Anita’s “God” file – mid 2009 Mine is a peanut-butter-and-chocolate life. Filled with pairs of things that are quite the opposite and seem, to the casual observer, to be strange & impossible bedfellows, yet seem to find their meeting place in me. - the non-traditional (racially, mom at home) traditional family (1 parent raises the children, [...] The next song on Anita’s Mix is “Sunday Morning” by Maroon 5.
