OUR SHARED HUMANITY
I’m thankful for the organizers of the Milan-Cortina opening ceremonies. They are reminding us of that high ideal the Lord would have us strive toward: holding onto one another in the light, rather than fighting in the dark.
WHEN NATURE CALLS
Jessica nodded her head, and from there somehow the conversation morphed into what running water is good for… especially all those unspoken bathroom-like things.
