One of my favorite places in the world is Charleston, South Carolina. And almost every time I visit, we stop for a few minutes to visit the Angel Oak. This 400-year-old mammoth of a tree has withstood countless storms and witnessed centuries of history and change in its long life in the Low Country. I've… Continue reading Planted and Fruitful

When Life Leaves You Weak-Kneed
A few months ago, Zach and I joined a gym here in Clayton.
