It seems like lately the world is full of uncertainty. Right now, things are ever-changing even more than normal. The enemy is running wild right now. In my little piece of the world, like many ends of the earth, we were experiencing the waves and trembling of Covid-19: Stores low on supplies. Schools closed. Businesses …
“Bloom where you are planted” A phrase that can be found on inspirational desk decor at Tj Maxx, on canvases, mugs, and basically anything else, well, ever. But has anyone ever taken the time to think about what that phrase means....
New year, new me. Every heard of that phrase? I’m sure you have. Each year when the clock strikes midnight on NYE, the internet is flooded with tweets and selfies with this quote. But, do they mean it? Does anyone ever feel that way? I don’t, that’s for sure. The closest I get to feeling …
Have you ever heard the phrase “you can’t have too much of a good thing”? Well I have. Over. And over. And over. And over. And I used to believe it. In fact, I used to use that statement as my excuse to bombard myself with busyness. Every time I felt myself slipping a little, …

“We’ll never know the deep, deep love of God” Those were some of the words that I sang at church this morning before heading back to Kentucky. Those were some of the words that I hummed to between sips of black cherry soda. Those were some of the words that I had 5.5 hours through …
