Favor, Comfort, and Justice

Favor. It’s a sweet spot in life. There are times we have more favor than others. The promotion, the win, or maybe the dream realized. Daily favor is how you show up and do what you know. You are doing your job well enough, your relationships are reasonably going well, and you are in a…

Mourning Dove

While I was away a few weeks ago, I downloaded an app on my phone called “Song Sleuth”. We would sit out on the deck and enjoy the species of birds and their songs. One morning, I heard a familiar sound of the dove. My husband loves to clasp his hands together and create the…
