Mindblown: a blog about philosophy.

           Our days are still quite warm, but our mornings…….Oh!  I hesitate to even say it!  Our mornings are beginning to feel just a bit like fall.  As I opened windows this morning, more out of habit than real necessity, I was surprised by the cool air that poured in.  I sat with…

     FRIDAY MORNING UPDATE:  We are thankful folk!  Corin was evaluated and, other than the gall stone, everything seems to be fine.  She was sent home with instructions for what to do and some follow up appointments.  On an even better note – the ultrasound to check the baby showed a very active baby!!        Thank you for your prayers. …
