View Full Post When I think back to my middle & high school years, as someone who was never the popular kid, lunch time was one of the most difficult parts of the day. I still remember that sinking feeling of walking into the cafeteria and scanning the room for someone I knew who'd want to sit with me. I had three really close friends, and shared a lunch period with one of them, so if Cassidy was ever absent, it meant I'd be eating alone...

View Full Post I always feel a tinge of sadness when the Christmas season ends. The tree comes down, the decorations go back into boxes and the house looks so bare and empty. The gifts are all opened, Christmas music is over and life gets "back to normal." I think the elves were onto something in the movie Elf, when they recited the first rule of their “elf code,” which says to treat every day like Christmas. Now more than ever, we ALL need the peace, hope, love and joy that comes only from Jesus. You don't have to keep the decorations up to keep the spirit of Christmas and the celebration of Christ alive in your heart...

Are we there yet?!?”) When you’re waiting for resolution or direction in a certain circumstance, that “spinning your wheels” feeling of things going nowhere can be super frustrating...
