All The Little Things

In the rush and the hurry of everyday life, isn’t it curious all the little things that get left behind and not addressed. Be it writing notes or filing paperwork, how do we make time for these things and get them off our mind? One way to motivate yourself to get things done is to […]

Using Your Time Wisely

In a day of endless scrolling on the phone, it is especially important that we be sure we are using our time wisely. Perhaps if we were to set the phone down more and apply ourselves to what actually needs to be done, that would help us well on our way. It sounds funny to

Fresh Start

Isn’t the new year kind of magical in offering us a fresh start? Not that it is really tied to the new year, I know, it’s just such a clear delineation between what we’ve been doing and what we might change and step into better. And isn’t that what being a Christian is all about

Odds and Ends

Next up on the agenda, around the day to day, is odds and ends – in addition to making plans for the new year. The rush and the hurry and the prep of Black Friday is now behind us. True, things will probably be steady busy through the New Year, but the biggest shopping day
