Fill up on the good stuff
Wrapping up a month of Daniel fasting, I am struck once again by the breakthroughs I experienced.

What are you waiting for
As a relatively new empty nester, I find myself in a place of waiting. Waiting and longing. Longing for my kids to be back home. Waiting for their next visit.

Tidings of Comfort and Joy
Are you a New Year’s resolution person? This past holiday season, with hope-filled Christmas carols still top of mind, Apple ran a new commercial. It said, “most people quit their New Year’s resolutions by the second Friday in January. It’s actually called ‘Quitter’s Day.’ But Apple Watch gives you the motivation to run right past… Continue reading

Time for a Filter Change
As the new year begins and I consider the things I want to change in the new year, I’d like to change my filter. A Google AI search says, “You should change your car’s filters regularly to maintain your car’s health… Regular filter replacements can improve your vehicle’s performance, prevent damage, and enhance efficiency.” Health,… Continue reading
