Read More You Can Afford To Take The Time OutMy parents worked hard day and night to provide a good home for their children. They worked in the place of employment during the day and during the night they worked just as hard in their diligence around the home and in engaging with their children and their church family. In fact to some degree […]
Read More Learning About RestIt is one of the things that makes the people unique.

Read More December Thanks #08: RestIt’s a great pleasure to have spent time with truly great people.

Read More Journeyman Journal – RestThere is a lot to do. No doubt about that. I can understand the almost unrelenting drive to keep on doing something as there is always something to do.
