Hi.

I'm so glad you found your way to my little corner of the neighborhood! Pull up a chair and stay, and let's chat about life on the margins and loving Jesus and, obviously, where to find the best cheese dip and most life-changing books. 

2013 Favorites

Will I sound like TOO much of a broken record if I say that I simply cannot believe we are rounding the corner on the very last day of 2013? I'd really like to say that my goal for 2014 is to slow down and enjoy life more, but the truth is that I'm not even really sure how to make that happen. Obviously. That doesn't mean, however, that I can't at least work on it.

All of that to say, I wanted to take a minute and reflect back on this past year and all of the things I loved most. It turns out, however, that I'm not awesome at choosing favorites (just ask the kiddos, they're ALL my favorites). But for you, I will do my level-best to narrow things down.
