Weekend Links
Between Christmas and New Year is always a quiet time in our house. Even when the kids were with us, this was a season of solitude. I like it.
So I am going to post this and get back to the quiet. Reading, meditating, praying, enjoying being in the same room with my bride. By the time the New Year arrives I will be all pumped up for the vision and promise of a new season.
