    By Carol McClain  @carol_mcclain Anyone stopping by this website knows I’m an author. And I can create books in two ways: I can dash down my first thoughts and believe they’re great. They are.

    By Carol McClain:  @carol_mcclain   I’ve been praying like a fury–for good things, things according to God’s desires. I hang onto the verse: “This is the confidence we have in approaching God: that if we ask anything according to his will, he hears us” 1 John 5:14.
