She Still Exists!

Yes, I am still around. No, I’ve hardly even thought about blogging again until recently. Yes, I’ve missed it. No, I haven’t even been reading other people’s blogs like I used to. Suffice it to say that all heck has broken loose for me and my family, starting around the middle of February. I will [...]

An Epiphany and Ruing a Change

Awhile back I bought the double album set, WOW Hymns. Wow is right! All sorts of wonderful hymns sung by contemporary Christian artists; I could listen to the album over and over again. The other day I was listening to music in the kitchen and “Trust and Obey” played (sung by Big Daddy Weave). I [...]
