Where my boys take piano is a wonderful little nature walk in the middle of the neighborhood. Depending on the weather, I will often take a quick walk around there while they are having their lessons. When you first walk into the preserve, you are […]
It was a wonderful last few days in New Orleans with my pastors group. It was also the first time we brought spouses along so it was a great weekend getaway for all of us. On our last night, we headed out to get some […]
