A Smidgen of a Hopeful ‘Maybe’
Many of you have seen my recent video where I share about my friend Kara.

From the Ground Up
I was challenged in February to think creatively about my personal journey and capture that in a selfie.

His Thoughts
His Thoughts I wrote this poem June 14, 2016. My devotional that day assigned me to write briefly about how God may think of me.
