Just chillin…

I blinked and it was bedtime and I don’t feel rested at all. How does this happen? I did achieve a few things today: Morning Devotion with Coac

You have raided the grocery stores, stacked firewood to make sure you can keep yourself warm, and prepared your mental for a frigid indoor weekend. These are the kinds of storms that you get fair warning about and usually you are able to prep a little before it hits. Unfortunatel
