I've written before about next steps and our journey heavenward. About the race, the path, the pilgrimage. About perseverance, that we need to keep going. Sometimes the goal, the big picture, the finish line can be overwhelming. I can feel frozen, stuck, numb. I forget that there's a simple next step to take.

Peace Over Panic
Today was a stormy day for me, in more ways than one. Literal, figurative, emotional, mental, physical, spiritual... lots of storms.

We were created for relationships, but that doesn't mean it's always marked by chocolates and roses. You may be single and loving it, divorced or widowed, happily married or unhappily married. No matter what your relationship status is, no matter how you’re celebrating Valentine’s Day (or how you feel about it) – you are LOVED … Continue reading The Best Valentine
