I got home last Saturday morning from a gorgeous morning bike ride with two dear friends and had a deep stirring in my soul. More on that in a few minutes. As I mentioned the bike ride was gorgeous, we road west with the sun coming up behind us making the morning mountains reflect the […]
MoreDon’t get me wrong, I love my boys. But the other night Clint and I were washing the dinner dishes when the boys go running through the living room each holding onto one end of an exercise resistance band.
