Because of Grace we Press On
Yesterday I woke up exhausted – but it didn’t last long. I perked right up on the trek into work on the most treacherous road conditions of the winter so far. Not that my mind wandered too far away from the strategic mission of the moment – get in the car and drive – but … Read more
I learned a life lesson from a cartoon a few days ago. Who would think that attending the production of‘You’re a Good Man Charlie Brown’ at Cornerstone University would leave an impression, other than a persistent smile?
