15 thoughts at once

I have a hard time slowing my mind down at the end of each day. Once I get home from work, I am usually thinking about probably 15 different things at one time – and usually at the top of that list are the things that I DIDN’T do that day. I should probably doContinue reading “15 thoughts at once”

my world just became bigger

I made the mistake of spending the last month or so reading the book Radical. I then made the even worse mistake of taking David Platt’s advice and checking out a resource called Operation World.
