Greetings, y’all! In today’s newsletter, I’d like to share a little glimpse of life from our little log cabin during this Christmas season. As you might have heard, winter storm Diego brought a little snow to our neck-o-the-woods. At our house, we saw 19” in 36 hours of the most beautiful, fluffy, white powder all over our mountaintop.

Suffice it to say, prodigals wield a power to destroy, but when their …
