I've been thinking through some stuff the last couple of years. Some difficult stuff. My dad passed away over a decade ago, and this fall my mom passed. My word of the year for 2024 is Restoration. I actually began unpacking it after my mom passed. Slowly, as the Holy Spirit brought things to remembrance, … Continue reading Repeat after me
Last winter I did a post about my white knuckle grip of death drive home in a white-out blizzard. My hands were holding the steering wheel so tightly, my knuckles were white.
