You know the movie scene. It's a cold night. It's usually snowing, possibly Christmas. There's a lone person standing outside looking in through a window. They are looking at a family by the fire having fun and laughing. I've felt like this over the last two years, like I'm on the outside of it all... Continue Reading →

Birthday Reflections p4 – Set Free
