As I sit down to type this month’s blog (and the accompanying content for my podcast episode), I’m pondering a subject I’ve never really discussed in much detail — to my knowledge.  Even as I think about this topic, I…

I hear the Savior say,
"Thy strength indeed is small,
Child of weakness, watch and pray,
Find in Me thine all in all."

Jesus paid it all,
All to Him I owe;
Sin had left a crimson stain,
He washed…

As I begin this month’s blog, let me just start by asking “How is your 2022 so far?”  Many are off and running and making good on plans, goals, resolutions, and so forth.  And perhaps some didn’t get as much…
