“Here on earth you will have many trials and sorrows. But take heart, because I have overcome the world.”—Jesus Yep.

It’s Time for the County Fair!
The Wayne County Fair opened up today, and we were there! We do enjoy our annual trip(s) to the fairgrounds, especially since it’s only a few blocks from our house! Being so close, we usually make a couple trips up there during the week of the fair, making sure to take advantage of any free…
Natural Consequences

Food, water, air—all are processed by this body without my doing, though I do receive some pleasure in parts of the…
My Indirect (and Disastrous) Encounter(s) with Endurance International Group
This is a “for the record” kind of post. Perhaps you’ll find it as appalling interesting as I have while following all of the connected trails in my research.

The Simple Life
I have two friends who host a podcast called “Cultivate Simple“. It’s about working toward living simply, intentionally, in every area of life. They certainly are quite good at this, but I always chuckle at the title as I am also aware of the multitude of actitivies and responsibilities and events that dot their schedules….
