Ironic Twist of Fate

In an ironic twist of fate, short-term memory loss has advantages. For example, it’s great for my daily workout. I run downstairs on a specific errand…get sidetracked, drop the laundry into the dryer, sweep up a mess, and climb all the way to the top step, before I realize that I really came down to...

What Was Your Theme of the Year?

A few years ago I started a New Year's practice. Every New Year's Eve, I look at how God spoke to me throughout the year.
