    Do you ever just feel like you want to say a bunch of different things, but never know how to get them out because of possibly hurting someone in the process? I am talking more about things that happen in your life. Things that you want to process by putting down the words and sharing…

    As I have been sitting at my work desk back in Bozeman this week, I have been trying to process all that happened in Nepal. I was overwhelmed with the work load that had been sitting before me. I have been able to make it through the work load faster than I thought. My work…

    What a day today! First off, today is the day that we celebrate Jesus rising from the dead! What an amazing God to send his son to die on the cross for our sins! Another cool thing is that we get to celebrate this day and live our lives for him. We started our morning…
