Take Heart
During 2020, one of the passages from the Bible that has really stuck with me from the beginning has been John 14-18, which is part of Jesus' last few hours with His disciples before His crucifixion.

That story may be the only beautiful, true thing that makes it through all the ugliness of a little … Continue reading Adorning the Dark ~ Book Review
Thoughts on 2020 (So Far…)
Yeah, you probably know where this is going. Or at least, have a few educated guesses. I'll be honest. 2020 has not been the worst year of my life. (For those interested, that was 2017, but that's its own story.) But 2020 hasn't been the greatest either. Some say that these problems came out of … Continue reading Thoughts on 2020 (So Far…)
