The Gospel According to Sissy Everyone knows me as Sis or Sissy but actually my name is Florence. That’s what I sign to at the bank. My brothers thought there were too many Florence’s in the family so, being their sister, they called me Sis and it stuck. There’s another thing ver

The Gospel According to Julia Was it operation three or operation four? Sometimes I lose track, there’s been a few. Strange as it may seem it was an operation that cleared a path back to faith for me. A particularly difficult operation when it looked as if I was going to die and
