What is Truth?

Not only have we been treated for a roller coaster ride of troubling conspiracy theories, but we have also lost our moral mooring related to “truth.” “Truth” is foundational not just for our life with God, but for our lives with each other. Some have noted we are in a…

Taxes and Trump

I dragged myself to bed last night because my mind was exhausted doing our taxes(don’t judge me). I am proud to say this 2019 tax return was only 13 pages long and it has been e-filed just a few minutes ago. Joseph put me on to a new free tax…
