The Joy of Christmas
A crystal cross hangs near the top of my family’s Christmas tree. It’s a reminder of the reason for the Christ child’s birth. Redemption. For as much as I love Christmas, I’m amazed at how there is little I can be certain of from year to year. Between our news...

At the peak of summer’s heat, I have to adapt. Tank tops, walking shorts, and a water bottle are my go-to gear. But as I stood in line at a local food truck, the heat hit me on another level. A nearby canopy offered some relief. I hope cool breezes...
