• Let Go

    This past weekend, we watched Toy Story 4 as a family. I think Pixar/Disney does a good job of getting to the deeper, underlying emotions. Toy Story is one series that seems timeless, where the multiple sequels make sense and the story seems fresh and new all over again. This time we are introduced to…

  • Open Your Heart

    This past weekend, I attended a conference called “Christ Our Life” in Des Moines, Iowa. I had seen the advertisement in my Facebook feed and I had a prompting to attend. I was intrigued by an “in-person” event and I purchased my ticket right away. I prayed for someone to attend with me, and the…
