Compassion

I don’t talk about church stuff on my blog much, but I think this story is just too great not to share. Bubba had to catch a plane yesterday at the same time our church service starts, so we went to an earlier one yesterday. One of the speakers (our church has members of the [...]

You are beautiful

Post a picture of yourself – sans makeup, fashionable clothing, or a fancy-schmancy hairstyle. A picture of yourself in your PJs, hugging your teddy bear, making a stupid face. A picture of YOU. That’s the challenge Kristen Otts issued in her post, Beautiful People. We live in a world of Photoshopped perfection. Everywhere we turn, [...]
