    Inside: The blessing of a snow day, encouraging quotes about waiting and prayer, a lesson I keep relearning and a favorite comfort food. Plus a biblical anchor for life’s emotional roller coasters.

As long as we’re here on planet Earth, God has a good purpose for us. This is true no matter how old we are, what we feel on any given day or what we imagine anyone else thinks about us.
