Subscriptions. Memberships. Reward cards. Starbucks cards. These are things you think of being renewed. Not coastlines and bayous and neighborhoods and bridges.

mom’s new shoes.
It was raining when the plane landed. A storm was blowing through the New Orleans area yesterday morning, and my flight arrived at 9:15am. The weekend with my family in Orlando had been sky-blue. Seeing Jen and the kids and our church family meant more than I can express in written words. Very refreshing. Enough to [...]
