Today Is A Milestone
My parents are celebrating 40 years of Marriage. In a time where marriages of longevity seem to be diminishing, there are still those living a blessed life of ups and downs and making it through them together.

Easter Movie Night
Timing. Timing is everything with God. From the moment I saw the previews for ‘Just In Time’ I knew it was something I wanted and maybe needed to watch. The night it debuted was Monday, but I had forgotten and missed it. I kept thinking I will watch this and each day I forgot until…

It’s Good Friday, Again
Today is a day for self reflection and for family conversation. Not all families get to be together today or this weekend though do they? Israeli and American hostages are still in Hamas hands. What are their thoughts today? How do they get through this weekend knowing what’s happened and how different it is from…
