I’ve mentioned before that stepping onto the board at my church has taken over my thoughts in many ways. I’ve felt a bit disconnected from my writing in many ways and while I have not shut down it has been hard to fully engage as I had been doing in the months prior. It feels […]
Continue reading →I began this post a week ago and have been having trouble finishing it, but I have stuck with it because I feel like it’s important – important for me certainly. It’s got a lot of the things that have been bubbling up in my mind these days – things that I need to get […]
Continue reading →The basic needs of survival. What is the bare minimum to survive relatively comfortably? You need some form of shelter – a place to be safe, or at least to be not completely exposed to all dangers. You want that place to be dry and warm – a place to rest. You also need food […]
