Gulasch and Spatzle!! Guest Post

Written by , Posted in Guest Posts, Thoughts

Regina is another friend from Texas. If you haven’t noticed, I have a few cherished friends who live there. More than a few. Texas and the people of it hold a special place in my heart.

I met Regina when I went to Bible school in Texas 11 years ago. She had a tiny 3 week old named Anna. We became good friends and still keep in touch even though many miles separate us. When I left Texas, saying goodbye to their family was one of the most difficult parts. They are such a dear family.

Here’s Regina…
