A Sweet Sunday Afternoon

I always love going to small group on Sundays for a lot of different reasons. First, because of the relationships - my family and I are still developing them, and small group gives us a way to know people on a deeper level through diving deep into scripture. We meet at a house in the …

A Star And A Resolution

Hello! It's been several weeks, a snowless Christmas holiday, and a dive into a new year since I last wrote. Hopefully, you'll be happy to hear that I'm planning on scheduling out my posts so I can share more regularly, and grow while I do it. The other day, I was taking my brother for …
