Music: Colin Nichols
When my friends ran/owned the local coffee shop they would host music nights. One of the owners is a musician (a super skilled one) and he invited his friends to play. One of the singers is a dude named Colin Nichols. I don’t know him well but he is one talented dude! Check him out…

Going Outside in a Small Town
Lately I have done fewer and fewer things that require me to be out and about in our small town. There are some people I don’t want to see, and there are other people I don’t mind seeing, but don’t necessarily have the energy to engage with. Today I ventured out. I went to the…

Dads
Dads are the best. Dads are heroes. Dads are the representation of God in the home. I love my dad. My dad is the type of guy who hears you say, “I really want a chicken coop” and a week later he is in the backyard building you one. He’s the kind of guy who…

Farm Cats
I got kittens y’all. And I have a VERY intentional purpose for them. There are too many mice in my garage/basement/car. (Yes, they get into the car. I wish I were joking.) It’s just a normal thing all country folk deal with, but I’m getting tired of it. SO, when my Aunt told me she…

Unpacking My Unhealthy Relationship with Food
I was thinking yesterday about how often I used food as a reward when I was a kid. (And I say “I” because I don’t think this was taught to me, I think I took sometime I enjoyed and turned it into a bigger deal than it should have been.) When I was little food…
