Looking Back Again

Round about a year ago, I was looking for a new job, a new place to live, and a new direction in my life. Now I have two jobs, a place to live, and enough direction to figure out where I should probably head from here. I'm probably going to sound like a broken record...

New Year, New Schedule

Once again, I find myself changing my blog schedule. I'll be posting my blogs on Tuesday, since my new schedule this year allows better writing time on that day. Speaking of new schedules, this past year has been full of changes for me. I went from one job to another,...

What Is Thankfulness?

I was teaching the little kids in Sunday School about thankfulness, putting it in a way they can understand. It got me thinking more than usual about what it means. When you are thankful for something, you are happy that you have it and you say thank you to the person...

Special Things

Some things are special because there is nothing else like them, or if there are others, there aren't many. Some things are special because we don't get to see or have them all the time. Some things are special because someone we love gave it to or made it for us....
