In a recent piece, Building Relationships, I shared with you some of the lessons I am learning from my equine instructor, Gretchen. Like our English Bulldog, Barnabas, she inherited a life goal just by joining our family: be a tool for teaching Scriptural Truth.

How we live matters.
The chaos and horrors of the world pile up to make us feel helpless and hopeless. It isn’t true. Every life has impact; every life matters. We must accept responsibility both for how we live and what we look at. The children’s song I used to sing with the children is on my heart thisContinue reading “How we live matters.”
