Cabin Fever

Last Thursday, Punxsutawney Phil made his annual appearance to tell us how long this winter will last.  For those who enjoy these snow-filled days, you will be happy to know that there will be six more weeks of winter.  In many southern states, which are experiencing unusually cold temperatures, ice storms, and even blizzards, this… Continue Reading Cabin Fever

Polar vortex and cyclone bomb have been added to our lexicon. As I write this blog post, all but a few inches… Continue Reading Becoming More Like Jesus Everyday
