For several months I’ve been morphing into a night owl. I’m actually a morning person, but I slowly began staying up later and later as the clock hands keep marching on toward a new day. This has to stop because I can’t stay asleep in the morning and I also can’t function on 6 hours […]

Everything God made was good and intended to give us enjoyment and satisfaction. Don’t even try to argue with this truth.
