Turtles and social media
Today our daughter Leah and I were going to the local track to walk, and Leah spotted a turtle by our garage. We’ve seen him (her? how do you tell?) hanging around our yard before, but I snapped (pun) a quick picture and then posted it on my personal Facebook page, asking, “What should we name him?” To my surprise, there was an immediate response from my friends!

What’s your diamond?
Our daughter Leah and I are reading through Jon Acuff’s book, Start: Punch Fear in the Face, Escape Average, Do Work That Matters.

Today’s reading was about rocks versus diamonds. Jon writes that... Read more »

Fortunately, we had a basement where we lived and we ran downstairs to take cover in the basement, with a battery-powered radio and Leah holding tightly onto her calico cat,... Read more »
