It’s adventure time. This weekend, I attended a service that extolled the glory of joy and going on a hero’s journey. You know that psychological, and often literal journey, a key character has to go on to fulfill a destiny larger than themselves. At the sermon the pastor […]
It is amazing how many people do not think before they speak. I think we are advised from an early age that we should pause, listen and craft our messages. Sure, that becomes more and more nuanced from kindergarten onwards. Some people may not be as tactful as […]
This Thanksgiving I went for less. I didn’t feel the need to gorge myself and have 101 different types of pies. Not that I have ever really done that but you get the point. I wanted sinplicity this Thanksgiving as this year has been the total opposite for […]
