Catching Up with Life & Changing the World
I read my friend Kelly’s blog post today and thought: wow, I feel the exact same way! Life has been a blur for the past 5 months, mostly because I’ve been super busy with lots of good stuff: work (I love my job), traveling, holidays, project after exciting project with the RPF, teaching Sunday school,…

A Day in the Life of…

Garden Inspirations
I realized that I’ve been really slacking on the blog this month. I don’t know what it is, but I just haven’t felt the urge to write and I’ve been lacking in ideas for topics. So, naturally, I turned to Twitter hoping to find someone willing to offer a suggestion. Sure enough, Gina came through…
