Excerpts from The House That Built Me<\/h2>\n

\u201cWe entered the back of the crowded sanctuary as quietly as possible, but when the door creaked, heads turned. The guest speaker stopped reading his introductory Scriptures for a moment. People I had not seen in a while turned and gave a quick wave. I waved back. It\u2019s Homecoming, and that\u2019s what you do. And besides, I was proud, wearing my new dress, spiky shoes, and twenty pounds lighter. Too busy waving and not paying attention was my downfall.\u201d <\/span>Pride Goeth Before a Fall by Sandi Herron in The House That Built Me.<\/em><\/p>\n
