  • Stronger Than We Think: Encouragment for Moms

    “I don’t know how you all do it.” Many civilian women/moms say to me. “I could never be without my husband for that long. I’d go insane.”  Ha! What makes them think I’m not insane? There are days I teeter on the edge of insanity. I’m sure my kids would…
