OUT OF THE CHAOS 01.03.2022
Monday officially kicks off 2022 for me. The first two days of 2021 were spent celebrating Jesus’ birth, our family and welcoming the new year.

Read: Habakkuk 3:17-19 I admit, this is a daunting scripture. The writer, Habakkuk, lived in a climate of social injustice. He cried …
Ready or not…part 3
During tornado season a siren sounds in my community on Thursday at 2 p.m. The siren runs for a minute or so and everyone stops, even if unconsciously, to acknowledge the emergency system designed to alert us to the presence of a tornado. No one moves to a safe place on Thursday afternoons but …
