I have been majorly MIA the last month – and I apologize. I’ve been a busy bee working on some Christmas projects and it has taken up all of my extra time! But I am happy to begin journaling and sharing again. A couple weeks ago, I was asked to serve as the second counselor …
{REVIEW} The Good and the Beautiful Science: Water and Our World
