What’s Yours, What’s Mine

A trip home, some observations and a growing appreciation of family, generosity, and God's quiet work in our lives.

Two puppies, two churches, a hunchback lady, a choir of a hundred voices, and an art gallery beside a church. A few reflections on the patience of God to the discipline of a choir.

A New World Order

A puppy named Coco the Burrito, chaotic roads, Peking duck, and first-world problems. A trip that reminded me what looks crazy to one person is often perfectly normal to another.
