Reflections of 2020 – New Beginnings
As I reflect on 2020, I am not focused as much on the pandemic and all the bad things that happened this year. I don’t mean to downplay them.

As I reflect, I am drawn to remember all the ways that 2020 has created new beginnings in my life and has refined my family. I invite you to join me in my reflection of 2020 and think of how…
