When God Knocks You Upside the Head
In the last week, I have had a little over one good day. That was Christmas evening and the day after. Christmas was a tough day, but I was encouraged with the fellowship over supper at the rancher’s house. We got lost in conversation, and before we knew it, it was 10:30. That was fun,…

Day 2 in Albuquerque
We woke up this morning from a night of sound sleep for both of us. Which was wonderful to experience and much needed. Last night we were dissappointed to learn there is not a gluten free option for breakfast at the hotel (thanks to COVID), but the hotel does have a basic kitchen setup in…
