Today I turned 32 and one of my first thoughts was, “I don’t know what this age means.” Sixteen meant freedom because I can drive. Eighteen meant possibilities because I entered college. Twenty-one meant responsibilities because I was legally a full-pledged adult. With every age since then, I’ve had an idea of what that age […]
First Weekend Fun of the New Year
How did your new year begin? Chaotic and stressful? Relaxing and fun? Mine was congested, as in I have a cold! I know quite a few people who are under the weather so I pray for healing for all of you. Drink lots of fluid and take lots of rest. And if you’re not sick, […]

Philip explained that the passage spoke of Jesus, shared the Gospel, baptized the eunuch, and […]
Looking for Lovely Book Review
For my Reading Challenge 2016 “a book you’ve been meaning to read” selection, I picked Looking for Lovely by Annie F. Downs. It’s her most recent book that I pre-ordered and have been wanting to read ever since it came in the mail, but school and its required readings kept pushing it down the read pile. Finally, […]
