Over the last few days, my husband and I traveled to St. Kitts to explore this beautiful tropical island. We visited 31 years ago, and oh, how it has changed.

We Move to the Garden

I began the 4th season of Chosen last night, one of our treasured Lenten activities.

Practicing Silence

It’s the holidays. I’ve laid out books to read for our trip; two books, one hallmark channel “type”, the other contemplative and philosophical. Which book do you think I could not put down?
