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 →There’s two moments from today that I feel like I want to reflect on. The first one I want to relate is the one that happened later in the day. The kids finish swimming lessons around noon so we sometimes will get pizza afterwards. It made sense today because my wife was sleeping off a […]
