I’m not sure how you think of the word “count”, but that word takes me back to my youngest years, when learning how to count was quite the achievement. Of adding one object to another, and suddenly, you have not one but two. One block becomes two, a few crayons become a dozen, and a [...]
Bliss is… …your hotel bed after a long day of travel. Coming soon, Britney’s top ten ways to make a flight bearable. “Behold, I am with you and will keep you wherever you go, and will bring you back to this land; for I will not leave you until I have done what I have spoken to [...]
A thread that weaves its way through scripture is that of “Sacred Places,” a place where a person meets God.

I really, really love it, because it is so nicely divided up and every day has sections from the Old Testament, [...]
If you hadn’t already figured out where I was in my previous picture, this might help: That’s right, it’s Boston. Beautiful Boston. Which includes Bunker Hill.
