On Saturday, May 10, 2014, I went to the funeral of my best friend of 10 years, Danielle. The theme that resounded throughout the service was how she lived a life that was totally sold out to Christ.

Flashback Friday – The Days Between the Dash
Her obituary stopped me dead in my tracks. I didn’t know her at all. I didn’t even go searching for it. In fact, I don’t even get the paper.
