The Writings and Experiences of Lela Jefferson Fagan
The Man with a Plan I married a man who writes Football game plans and has done so for over half his life for a living. He lives and thinks offensively and strategically. So why would I think when the doctor told us after my first reproductive corrective surgery that we should not attempt to…
First, before I even get any further than the title of this piece; let me make it abundantly clear that I had a wonderful relationship with my father. He was very present in my life. I knew who he was, and he provided for me emotionally, mentally, physically (with his presence) and financially since before…
I am stretching my neck out in faith and expectancy for some particular things in the upcoming year. While preparing to do so, I have decided to read and blog about my journey; so that I can have a tangible record of this season in my life. To be honest, in one of my private…
