Silent Sabbath Sundays
I’m trying something new in the effort to curb my blogging time. I’m going dark on Sundays. Yep, you heard it right. I’m not even going to turn on my computer. Gulp. I can’t believe I just wrote that. I’ve noticed I’m slipping back into my old habits, running to the computer more than God.…

I almost didn’t post a WFMW because I couldn’t think of any brilliant ideas. Then I thought, sometimes simple is best, and a couple of photos are worth a thousand words. So here’s my WFMW. Instead of going to the pool or water park today, I got to relax a little with a book while…
