Preaching to the Choir
I need to read my own blogs. “Summertime Sanity” Those words are mocking me over there on the left side of the screen 🙂 The last word I would use to describe the past few days is “sane.” My boys are all but clawing each other’s eyes out. And I am all out of creativity. … Continue reading

Summertime Sanity #5 – Only one thing is needed…
I am so passionate about today’s post that I started typing before my coffee stopped brewing. Watch out! I am asking the Lord to release Himself in a somewhat reckless way this morning. I am asking Him to break any code of conduct we have set for Him and to reveal things anew. No matter … Continue reading
