How’s the water?”And the two young fish swim on for a bit, and… Continue reading Wisdom Wednesday & “This is Water”
1- OUR LIBRARY IS RE-OPENING FOR IN-PERSON BROWSING NEXT WEEK!!!!! This is a bigger deal to the kids even than to me. They have been dying to get back in the library.

I heard this great parable yesterday, so obviously I have to share, because as you know, I love parables. I'm pretty sure it's one that many people have heard before, but I guess I never had.
