I went the early Kairos service at church, where I was reminded to “be curious” and not be judgmental.

Hiatus Nearly Two Weeks In, With a Month Yet to Go…
I once again am taking a sabbatical from all social media for the period of Lent. I started nearly two weeks ago and there definitely has been a void in my life that I’ve taken note of.

At a recent cleaning appointment at my dentist’s office, I was given several options going forward and decided it was best, both from a dental and financial standpoint, to get upper and lower dentures. I will, with the next several blogs, detail what thatContinue reading “My Adventure with Dentures – Part One”
Visit to the Frontlines…
Three weeks ago, heavy rains and winds made their way through western North Carolina. Areas to our west in the North Carolina mountains suffered catastrophic damage that will take months, if not years to repair.
