Last week my hometown was devastated by a tornado. As I see photos and video of the event, a sense of disquiet covers my heart. This was not just a random town; it was a place where I still have friends and family. This is personal. With that in mind, I considered the challenge of…READ MORE…

I am about to head out the door to pick up my husband from the airport. He has been flying for about 20 hours, returning from a trip to Bangkok. It has been 11 days since he left. I am sure that he will be feeling the jet-lag and recovering through the weekend. That is…READ MORE…
