My heart is crowded. After the message this morning, I realized my over-sized, compassionate heart has little room or space. After writing this confession, I think back to Mary and Joseph begging for a place to deliver Jesus–the Son of God–and not a single person had room except for a man who offered his stable….
Becoming: Your Life Matters
The ultimate purpose within life is renewal. Each day you awaken to a new day, a slight change in the budding flowers, or the climate. Many would argue that we live in a world in which the opposite is true. Over time our bodies deteriorate, and our earth’s resources are depleted. After watching my sweet…

While there, we found some other things that we just could not leave without purchasing. My husband loves to cook new recipes. Have you ever made your own pasta? He followed the…
Lessons learned: Managing disappointment
