For a while now, I’ve been challenged and influenced by Paul’s encouragement to the church in Philippi. Fix your thoughts on what is true, and honorable, and right, and pure, and lovely, and admirable. Think about things that are excellent and worthy of praise.

Read More Seeking the SuperlativeBlink and you miss it. That’s something apply to years of my life to be fair. It’s particularly applicable, however, to the month of February.

Read More Catching Up On Some ThingsA friend of mine has a really keen sense of smell. To such an extent that she is able to detect someone’s presence by the smell of a jacket they have worn.
