Urban Turkeys Gone Wild by Debbie Norrell

Where in the world did these turkeys come from? I never thought I would see turkeys trotting around in my neighborhood. Over five years ago my tenant sent me a picture of a large turkey in her front yard. I was shocked. Now I am seeing Turkeys in my neighborhood, and they are running around in packs. They are very large and aggressive. I wanted to start taking walks in my neighborhood but now I am afraid of these large turkeys. It seems like they appeared out of nowhere. I did some research and here is what I found.

- Coach Pamela Hankins 𝗟𝗜𝗩𝗘 𝗠𝗮𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗰𝗹𝗮𝘀𝘀 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗪𝗼𝗺𝗲𝗻 𝗼𝗳 𝗙𝗮𝗶𝘁𝗵 | Exposing the Fairytale on Oct 18 & 25.

Are you tired of chasing the “happily ever after” that never quite matches reality? Do you find yourself struggling between fantasy expectations and the truth about God-centered relationships?

Exposing the Fairytale is a powerful 2-hour masterclass designed to dismantle the myths culture taught us about love, marriage, and worth—and replace them with the truth of God’s Word, real wisdom, and authentic purpose.

Brick and Mortar or Online by Debbie Norrell

Just the other day I was shopping in a very large mall. It was on a Saturday around 11:30 am. Years ago that used to be prime time for shopping. One of my first jobs back in 1970 was in a large mall and I never could get Saturday off because it was such a busy day. I was in Beaver Valley Mall, and it was actually very sad. I started to take a picture and post it, but I changed my mind. I actually felt sorry for the mall.
