Reading Jeremiah chapter 18 today, I couldn’t help but be reminded of my youth. More specifically–the countless hours I spent at “The Potter’s House.” Friday night church was something I rarely missed. In fact, on a few occasions I hopped...

There’s a sound in the air as our waitress makes her way to the patio from the kitchen and back yet again. The gentle rhythm of the screen door is a familiar tune reminiscent of days gone by. I love the feeling of home, and Hecla Island brings me back there every...

And I saw that all toil and all achievement spring from one person’s envy of another. This too is meaningless, a chasing after the wind. Fools fold their hands and ruin themselves. Better one handful with tranquility than two handfuls with toil and chasing after the...

It’s been about a year now since I realized how much I love fiddle leaf trees. One day I was sitting there watching a home decor show, and there it was–the most incredible plant I’ve ever laid eyes on, sitting in a corner of the room. Fiddle leafs...
