Strangers Bring Us Closer to God : Sara Miles

About a month or so ago, my Sarah Miles stopped to pay us a visit. I was glad that she was able to come and enjoy a very simple lunch and relax before returning to her book reading and presentation engagements here in Seattle.
Yesterday, Sarah was on NPR and my daughter was glued to the [...]
