IMAGINE THIS Driving home , after a storm, an amazing sight caught my attention.  Mesmerized, I pulled over to take in the view.  Sliding out of the Jeep, I wanted nothing more than to simply be in the moment.  With a smile heavenward, I absorbed the sunshine and took in the view.  Life was trying to steal my joy…but it cannot steal my sunshine.  This cover picture is a good depiction of life after r...
