As we approach the Thanksgiving holiday, I’m reminded of the gifts we’ve each been given. Our Creator was generous when He designed that part of us that takes ideas and turns them into beautiful works of art.

Sometimes we forget how quickly life can change. One minute we’re stuck in a traffic jam going nowhere fast, and the next we’re stuck at home going nowhere at all! Before the pandemic, we used words like “business as usual, busy, busy, busy, and I have to go to work.” Now we have some new […]
