Articles

I come across so many articles, blog posts and links that I absolutely love for one reason or another - they're house related, they are SO unrelated to the house-building process; they're about life, religion, happiness and all other things. Instead of writing a blog post about each and every one of these profound articles, I thought I'd make a page dedicated to an archive of them, in case you (or I) want to reference them in the future.

This is a timely article as Lent began yesterday. It's so important to remember what this period is all about, and how we can use these 40 days to grow ourselves into a better likeness of God Himself.

That's one thing I've told myself I'd really like to try to keep in the house all the time. It can be expensive to continuously have them in a house, but I at least look forward to live plants scattered about. Another way in here that I like and am excited to do now that we're in a house and not on the 12th floor of an apartment, is doing 10 burpees in the yard, outside. Or at least taking a run "around the block."
