What A Trip To Oude Kerk In Amsterdam Taught Me About Experientialism
Visiting Oude Kerk in Amsterdam. And A Lesson Learned. Experientialism. First things first. What in the heck do I mean by experientialism? This is not a lesson on apologetics or whatever else may come to mind when hearing this word. Experience vs. Materialism. This is about experience vs. materialism.

Love in Action
Valentine's Day. Happy Valentine's Day!! A day that has become symbolic with love. How do you show somebody that you love them? Is it with chocolate, wine, and roses?

Being the Florida transplants that we are, my daughter decided to turn the old soft top surfboard (which has rotated out of use) into a sled. Friday was a snow day and my kids fully embraced that.
