Last night we had the opportunity to spend time at home with the kids. After dinner, we watched a YouTube video of this beautiful home in this amazing setting, and imagined what it would be like to live in it. As we dissected every inch of the house, we made fun of the fact that…

Can you see God?  Wait, no????…..Yeah, me neither.

My mind sometimes is like an alphabet soup of thoughts, I tell you. And I find myself, too often, trying to make sense of yesterday or…
