Seeking through Questioning
How I would describe my thought life for the past four months is fuzzy with an extra dose of questions. It seems like my brain has been overwrought with how’s and why’s and what’s and everything in between that could end with a question mark. In the middle of all this...
A Merry Heart
Relationships are hard. We hear that phrase so often it’s starting to lose meaning, but it’s still so true. Recently I was driving (something I do a lot as I commute 45 miles each way for work!), and the phrase “A merry heart doeth good like a medicine” just kept...
