Just a few little updates:
1. I’ve added a link to my navigation bar to my posts on wholemagazine.org. I write devotionals for them every Tuesday, so there’s a new post each week. I hope you check it out!

Hopefully things will smooth out soon, though. In the meantime, I’ll post as much as I can. Thanks for understanding!
