Advent the Second Half ebook

We pulled this out this past Sunday and I still like it. And most importantly, it sparked some family conversation. So without further ado, here's the entire ebook in one place so you don't have to search for each week.

This is meant for personal use, but if you want to do something else with it, just send me a message or leave a comment and we'll work it out!

Loving Disagreement by Kathy Khang and Matt Mikalatos

If you're human, which I'm assuming you are if you found your way here, there will come a moment in your life when you're right and they're wrong and you're going to have to not win because the relationship is more important than your rightness It might be over where to go to dinner, which type of coat to wear for the weather, what ever it may be, you're going to find yourself there. Khang and Mikalatos have got together and written Loving Disagreement for that exact moment, especially if that exact moment isn't occurring with a loved one but with someone you encountered on the internet or maybe the break room at work, the where and who don't really matter because we can be loving towards anyone, even when we're not in relationship with the offending person.

Project 52: Good Friday is low key

We had a wonderful Holy week, full of celebrations, one of my favorites was the Good Friday celebration. But it was emotionally and physically draining. By the time that evening rolled around, we weren't up for much of anything. We ended up having a game night on our bed with crackers, cheese and salami. It was fun, we played cribbage, and In a Pickle (which we determined is not for two people with little to no brain power). I'm looking forward to this Friday because Joel is off the entire week, which should mean more energy and maybe something creative!
