Advice to My 12 Year Old Self
I imagine being able to travel back in time, find my 12-year-old self, and have a long chat with him. I was a skinny, unathletic, introverted kid with very little (if any) self confidence.

The Fourth Watch
Do you, like me, sometimes find yourself questioning God’s timing in your life?
