Happy Friday, everyone! I hope this has been a good week for you, and that you sense how blessed you are in Christ no matter what’s going on in your life right now. It’s 30 degrees here in Nashville this morning, and it’s going to be a cold weekend. It’s a good time to do some reading, and speaking of reading, here are some blog posts to keep you occupied in your down time this weekend. Thanks as always for following my blog.

Shoulder to shoulder,
