July 20, 2010 I am amazed and blown away by how simple my life seems to be these days!

I still go regularly to Sunday morning street church breakfasts/ gatherings, but the weekday . . . → Read More: wanting to meet people and extend grace July 20 (looking back to July 9 and 10) Oh no!

We don’t have a cool basement, but we have found ways to beat the heat. In the evening, as soon as the outdoor temperature is as low as the indoor temperature (or vice versa, of course), we . . . → Read More: keep the house cool on hot days July 6, 2010 IT DOESN’T TAKE A VILLAGE TO RAISE A CHILD?
