August has been full. A lot of good things. A lot of moving pieces. A lot of go, go, go. And somewhere in the middle of all of it, my quiet time with God slipped. Not intentionally. I didn’t decide I didn’t need it anymore. Actually, I could feel the lack of it. And IContinue reading “Come to the Well and Drink”
