Queen Elizabeth II: A Royal Life of Beauty, Faith, and Duty She provided leadership and continuity, not just for her nation or the larger commonwealth, but for the world. A queen, not only by birth and title, but in character. A combination of respect and...
Waiting Joyfully “Wait” is my one-word for 2022. I confess, for most of this year I have not been waiting well. I’ve wanted to wait better. Really. But an examination of why I haven’t been waiting well yielded the realization that my focus was on the wrong...
