What’s new?

last I updated, we were in the midst of the Daniel Fast. we did make it through 10 days. The last few days were much rougher than the beginning. I had evening meetings several days in a row, so I had to think about packing breakfast, lunch & dinner to go. it was not easy. [...]

Birthday Weekend!!
