The Freedom in Stepping Back

I am so sore, it’s not funny. After my ministry meeting today, we had dance practice for the presentation tomorrow. I haven’t danced a choreographed jazz/ballet routine in a long time so practice was grueling. I’m trying not to be nervous, but I kept going today because I am nervous.

Weekend Fun & the Freedom in Self Care

This Weekend Fun is all about Self Care, the practice of taking care of yourself physically, mentally, and emotionally. I’m going to add spiritually, too.

The Fight for Freedom

When I think of freedom I think of the freedom found in Christ. That’s all good and true, but one of the first things God taught me about freedom was the patriotic kind. This was what I learned when I visited Washington D.C. It was a little annoying to think of that kind of freedom […]
