Happy Friday!
The kids have a day off of school today, the weather has been balmy after the polar vortex, and our freezer has a stock of monster cookies now. One of the highlights this week was the book fair at school. Cracking open a new book is just so exciting (for most of our family, anyway).
I hope you have a wonderful weekend and stay safe and healthy.

I have really appreciated the Knowing Faith podcast, where, in this episode, Jen Wilkin, JT English and Kyle Worley talk about developing a theological method to help you learn and grow.
