Last week I was fortunate to escape home to spend five days at a quiet writing retreat. All by myself! For a writer on deadline, it was perfect. I spent the time editing my next release, Memory Box Secrets, having received full manuscript critiques from my critique partners.

Cornerstone – Pieces of Granite Playlist
We live in a society where independence and self-sufficiency are highly-valued, which is great, but that also makes it easy for us to forget that Christ is our cornerstone. He is our foundation.

I love the passion in the lyrics and …
