where my heart and His Story collide
Sweet friends, there are rarely easy or satisfying answers to all the "Why's?" in this life. (Frustratingly, enough!) And, it really seems that no matter how well we may think we understand people or know the Bible or Jesus, we're often left shocked, surprised, or simply sitting in silence with all these unanswered questions. And… Continue reading Jesus, The Object
I feel like it's time to share a few things with you... So, we have this word "RELAX" carved from wood hanging in our gazebo. It's like a reminder... or a command. One that's super easy to follow when I'm swinging in my chair or hammock, listening to the birds and the slight breeze rustling… Continue reading Relax
