Since experiencing the awe-inspiring solar eclipse along the path of totality in 2017, Luke and I have been eagerly awaiting our next viewing.   That opportunity finally came last week when we traveled 7 hours by plane and 3 hours by car to Waco, Texas, in hopes of again seeing …

After taking a break for a couple of years, I was eager to again participate in The Bible Recap plan to read chronologically through the Bible in a year.  In the first few books of the Bible, God places a heavy emphasis on the importance of Sabbath rest …
