The Hubs and I were talking yesterday over dinner about how our "small" church has become just what we have hoped. . . a community.

I think I'm ready, but maybe not yet. Not fully satisfied with where I'm at either. What do you do with those days? I read about having a "restless soul" today on the Proverbs 31 devotion (good one to read!) http://proverbs31.org/devotions/devo/quiet-my-soul/ And I never really thought about how restless I am. I know my nature is to stay busy, but my soul has th
