All Things New (Website Design)

March 17, 2016

Website redesign for sharonrhoover.com

Welcome to my new website design! After researching and thinking and researching and thinking some more, I finally made decisions and hit the “update” button. I’m not sure why it took so long.

The Weaver

February 28, 2014

A classic poem, The Weaver, written by Benjamin M. Franklin and quoted frequently by Corrie ten Boom speaks to the age-old quandry of contentment amidst uncertainty… My life is just a weaving Between my Lord and me.

To Blog or Not to Blog?

February 4, 2013

Why blog? Many people have asked the purpose of blogging. Some would say that we are a society that will not stop talking. Opinions and comments and advise and rants abound. Guilty. As I consider the “to blog or not to blog” question, though, a few things come to mind… Connecting First, I have found blogs…
