Ever had one of those weeks? You know, where you’re 14 month old get’s a bloody nose… twice. You find the remote control in the toilet. Your 3 year old literally touches the stove and burns his hand while you’re trying to get out the door for church… even though you explicitly told him it was HOT. Your 5 year …
Who are you?
I spent some time this weekend talking about, and contemplating who I am, why I’m here and what it’s all for. Of course, being a believer myself, I feel like I have a pretty good grasp on what it’s all for and I’m starting to get a sense of why I’m here. But the who am I part… That’s tricky. …
