Take Up a Different Story
Have you heard of Wendell Berry? He’s an author, poet, and farmer (my kind of guy). I stumbled across his name and jumped into some of his writing and was captivated. One of the hallmarks of good writing is if it resonates or rings true, and his work surely does that. One favorite poem has…

Weighty and Meaningful Fruit
When I began my blog, I made a commitment to try to write something at least once a week (I’m making no public promises). However, I’m realizing (only in week 2) that all of those lovely ideas that were once floating in my head that would make ideas for great blog posts are completely gone.…
