reset button

Yesterday I was looking for a reset button so I could start this week over.  I’m sure everyone has a week here and there that seems to have one thing after another that just keeps dragging you down.  This has been one of those weeks for me.  Knowing what has...

community

I am thankful that I have the kind of community at work that supports me no matter what I am going through.  It’s the kind of thing most people would expect someone to experience when working at a church.  Often times though, working at church can feel a lot...
