KEEP ON FLYING
KEEP ON FLYING Prior to our departure into Colorado Springs, the pilot gave us our flight forecast. He told us that we would be cruising about 32,000 feet in the air; however, we would experience a few bumps on the way in. He also made it clear that it would be nothing to be alarmed […]
A LOVE THAT NEVER FORGETS
A LOVE THAT NEVER FORGETS The words, “I love you” are some of the most thrilling, heart-warming, consoling, and comforting words that can be expressed to an individual. Spouses are reminded by them.
