Debunking that Bible meme….or not
Today a good friend messaged me and asked if I had seen the latest meme that's going around social media about the Bible missing verses. She asked if I knew whether it was true or not. I honestly thought it would be a thirty second task to debunk it and call it fake news. What I found was completely unexpected.

Let’s talk Coronavirus…
by Lori Twichell Let’s talk Coronavirus. I’ve been kind of quiet on it other than sharing news stories because this is a local story for me. My news feeds on various social media sites are split pretty definitively. I have friends who are convinced this is the end of everything and we’re all going to die. I also have friends who believe it’s a full on hoax meant to mess with elections and they are pretty much scoffing at those who are concerned. Where you stand on the issue doesn’t matter to me, really. Your opinions don’t change anything about my life or how it’s affecting my family and…

Wisdom and the Tongue….
Though I spend time daily studying the Bible, I rarely choose to share it. In my mind, those are God’s words and lessons for me, not necessarily for others.

From the moment I sat in the seat at the theater, I was ready for home and childhood and....safety. Mr. Rogers was safe. Always. Oh please don't screw that up.

I needed this movie. I think a lot of people do.

Establishing the Work of My Hands….
I had no idea at the time, but that simple ten-minute phone call with a woman whose name I don’t even remember changed everything for me. That passage resonated with me and for days afterward when the kids were crying or I was second guessing my thoughts to work from home, I would hear these verses in my head.

Road Trips, Childhood Memories and a New Movie….
A new movie that came out yesterday (May 15th!) on iTunes, Amazon and showing in various theaters across the country via Tugg, promises fun, childhood adventure and joy to audiences. Called a “modern-day tale of hope, faith and courage based on stories from the Bible” Beyond the Sun is the first movie to ever feature a guest appearance by the Pope himself! Seriously Pope Francis is in this film! Here’s the trailer: Since the film is about childhood adventures, I thought I’d share one that isn’t necessarily from my childhood – but that of my kids. Last year, I took my three teenagers on a road trip across the country. Just…
