This week I?d like to welcome Jordan Stinnett as my guest. She?s written a very good story, one that has a valuable lesson woven into it. Jordan warned me that the end of the story is kind of PG-13. I found it to be tragic. I will leave the ending for your imagination to fill […]

The Death Angel

She is so helpless and when I?m not there I worry about her. Is she getting enough fluids, does her nose need wiping, are her clothes arranged […]
