Living in the Peace Zone
We live in an “out loud” generation, don’t we? For those of us who thrive on social media, silence isn’t exactly our strong suit! Now that Christmas has wrapped up, I still find myself lingering in the awe of the most extraordinary birth EVER. Mary? She was the quiet type. She didn’t post about baby…
Eternity is on my mind a lot these days as my sis-in-law, and I talk about mom’s upcoming 100th birthday — if she makes it to it! There won’t be a big celebration. Karen, with her 24/7 care of mom has her hands full already, so there won’t be a flurry of activity surrounding the…
