The Beauty of Rest
This morning when my alarm went off I groaned….literally. I just did not want to get up this morning. It wasn’t that I stayed up late last night. I didn’t. It wasn’t that I was getting up earlier than usual today. In fact, I actually got to sleep in a little bit because I wasn’tContinue reading “The Beauty of Rest”
Ash Wednesday
Today is Ash Wedneday. If you’re not Catholic, you may have no idea what that means.

Bible Courage
It’s been said that there are 366 “fear not”s in the Bible. That’s one for every day of the year, including leap year. Of course, most people just pass this quote along. I have to admit that I have yet to take the time to count the number of times the Bible tells me notContinue reading “Bible Courage”
