Running With a Crowd of One

Looking Out for the Real #1

We launched a new series called “i am second.” The idea comes from the website iamsecond.com. We watched the… Continue reading

Thursday
Yesterday was a pretty good Thursday, though kind of crazy (the Thursday before Easter always is). The day started with breakfast at Denovo’s, which is where my small group meets. It was our second meeting, and was great (as was the creamed chipped beef over biscuits with Tabasco sauce–and they are masters at keeping the… Continue reading
