I helped her get a loan to get some home repairs then we rode around to look at cars and old family ancestral homes. I took her out to eat a couple times. Her transportation is poor right now so she needed some time out.2. I try to stay positive and supportive of my husband who is going through a difficult time.3. I encourage two…See More

Sharon C. in Brevard, NC commented on truthsayer's blog post Somehow everything I do doesn't seem like enough."I think that if we are people who are concerned about others, there is so much to do that we feel like there's not enough time, that we don't do enough, and that it won't make a difference. But in reality, even the smallest thing you…"

Krista commented on truthsayer's blog post Somehow everything I do doesn't seem like enough."I like what Paula said. I agree.
I will be bold and simply ask, are you a Christian?
