How Did You Do It? Faith and My Dissertation

July 16, 2017 by David Winyard 10 Comments

August 1, 2016 by Christine Jeske 2 Comments

May 31, 2015 by Tamarie Macon No Comments

It took months for me to be in a place to write or even think about work. I felt sick to my stomach just looking at my computer.
