Holding on to Faith in the Midst of a Fuzzy Future Ahhh . . . a new year. The future wrapped in a new beginning. Twelve months of potential. But not everyone is optimistic about the future. Some say that if the past couple of years is any indication, we’re in...
Worn Out or Persevering? Are you worn out? I am. I’m worn out after a nonstop flood of bad news. A pandemic that won’t leave. The death of people I love. Natural disasters such as the Cat 4 hurricane that hit New Orleans on the 16th anniversary of Hurricane...
