Last week, while recovering from one of those winter colds, I felt as if time slowed down – in a good way. I had planned for a busy two weeks, but the unexpected cold changed my plans.

Last week I had no voice. Though it is mostly recovered now, I am still getting the top part of my range back. For me, singing makes up so much for how I express my love for God. I sing as I pray, just throughout my daily activities, and as I worship the Lord together … More Sense of Song
Our garden this year is more fruitful than last year. We have watered the trees, attempted to scare off the birds, and watched as flowers blossomed and fruits ripened.
