The Gifts of Christmas: Forgiveness & Reunion

Christmas 2019 is now in the past and we are 1 day away from a new decade. Gosh, a new decade. Can you remember when you were in high school and even trying to imagine living in the 2000s was hard? I do! We imagined ourselves SO OLD when we […]

Going Home

I haven’t been home in a long time. I grew up 5 hours away from where I have made my home for the last 28 years. And since I left in 1991 I have maybe returned three times before this. Once when my father died. Once for a class reunion. […]
