Sometimes, a scrap of wood is so much more than just a scrap. Our back yard has a ton of scrap wood – with a general contractor for a husband (and a great one at that), pieces of 2×2, 2×4, and 4×4 wood fill bins on the side of our house. It’s a bit of a wood graveyard and, while…

Blame it on whatever you want, but last night – at our women’s ministry – I was THAT girl. The one who starts off sharing, answering a question, and – somewhere between the second and third breath –…
