“New Year’s Reflections: Parrots, Street Ministry, and Twin Shenanigans”

As the clock ticks into the New Year, I can’t help but laugh at the whirlwind of moments this year has delivered. From street ministry surprises to the chaos of parrots and twin adventures in my new novel, 2024 felt like a mashup of sitcom episodes and heartwarming life lessons. Grab your coffee and join me for a recap of the quirks and blessings that made this year unforgettable. “Street Ministry Surprises” Every year, street ministry teaches me something new about grace and God’s sense of humor. One particularly memorable day, I met a woman living in her car. She’d draped freshly cleaned laundry over her vehicle and was using the car window as a mirror to fix her hair. It was a picture of resilience, and it humbled me. While I was fumbling with snacks and scripture cards, she exuded a quiet dignity that reminded me how much we underestimate people. 01/01/2025 10:02 AM
