But the fact that plans change in a meaningful and connected way restores my faith in a God who has bigger plans for me.   On Sunday, I planned on … Continue reading →

Typical workday

Here’s what a typical work day is like for me. 5:00am. Begin hitting snooze. 5:14am. Finally get out of bed, eat breakfast. 5:35am. Realize I’ve spent too much time on Facebook and am now running late. 5:45am. Run out the door for the gym. 6:00am. Jump in the pool. No… slide slowly in the pool … Continue reading →
