Week #2 of the Fruit of the Spirit discussions. Today is finding joy in the “little things.” “I love it,” Vanellope Von Schweetz exclaims in Disney’s Wreck it Ralph as she looks at her finished race car. Ralph tried to help her build a new car in the mini game,…
Perfectly Undone: Part 1
This admittedly was supposed to be a story that took up one post. However, when it comes to fiction, I tend to get into a story and keep typing away. The story was getting just a little too long for a single post, especially since this is only the first…
Fruits of the Spirit: Choosing Love

Place

SEARCH
It’s Five Minute Friday again…on a Saturday this time. I was exhausted yesterday! But here it is. The word? SEARCH. MY 3-year-old son loves to play Hide and Seek. The funny thing is, when he hides he starts to make noises when he knows we’re close by. He wants us…
