Rest for the Weary, and for the Rest of Us Too

Rest, do you ever think about it? I mean seriously and intentionally plan rest into your day or week? Sometimes it seems we are going so fast we forget to stop. You know the old saying stop and take time to smell the flowers? While I think that’s a great idea, I am actually purposingContinueContinue reading “Rest for the Weary, and for the Rest of Us Too”

Life Lessons From Kids Who Shoot Bows

I had the privilege of spending part of my weekend in a youth archery event. These events are always interesting to me.

Forward Momentum

Well, not exactly sure what you would call it, but running works forContinueContinue reading “Forward Momentum”
