Therefore, my dear brothers, stand firm. Let nothing move you. Always give yourselves fully to the works of the Lord, because you know that your labor in the Lord is not in vain. 1 Corinthians 15:58 The works of the Lord.

Red Balloons for Ryan
My heart is heavy today. My Instagram feed has been buzzing with the sad news of a family’s loss, a three and a half-year-old, curly, red-headed sweet face gone from this world.

I wasn’t searching for anything in particular. To this day, I have no idea what my motive was behind it.Continue reading “Deep Roots”
