What’s pulling you down?

May 8, 2025 By Cara Putman 2 Comments

Spring has been odd in Indiana this year. We'll have days of hitting 70 degrees followed by days in the 40s. My flowers are confused as are the trees.

God and His Name

March 5, 2025 By D'Ann Mateer

Have you ever had a season where you find yourself face to face with the same theme everywhere you turn in life? I’m currently in a season like this.
