Matthias: Humble and Ready to Grow

February 24, 2021 By Ryan Kuratko 1 Comment

‘Humility.’ We can use the word in such ugly ways, but humility simply means to be real, to be honest, to be ourselves. If you’re doing Lent, it’s a good Lenten word.

Who Leads This Pack?

March 2, 2019 By Carrie Willard 2 Comments

I’ve been tempted in the past to say that I’ve been tricked into thinking that I’m a good parent because I have easy children. I say “tempted” because the last time I sat down to write something about that, I was in the ER that night with a kid who needed stitches in his head after an unfortunate encounter with the sideboard in our dining room.
