  • Shingles…and Stillness…and Running.

    It’s no secret that I live a crazy life. My mom tells me repeatedly (and has for years) that I just need to slow down, just say no, just give up some activities. Funny thing is…I think she is right. In a way. I feel just like the Apostle Paul…I keep doing the things I…
