It’s after midnight, and I can’t seem to locate my wife. She left the house a few hours ago with Lilly in tow (no school tomorrow) to head to the grocery store. We need groceries, but I was unaware that it would require several hours to acquire all the Read more
I love the Christmas season for so many reasons, but near the top of the list is the content of the winter chorus concerts. We’ve been to two so far; Lilly’s 8th grade chorus concert a few days ago and Levi’s Master Singers/Chamber Singers concert tonight. At back-to-school night, the Read more
I got lost in the woods today. I had some time this afternoon to take a walk in the woods. I needed it. I wanted to get out of the office, to spend some time in the woods praying and thinking and walking. There’s a trail around Harvest Fields (our Read more
