Once a quarter, I look forward to reading Emily Freeman’s “What We Learned” series. I am fascinated with the premise not only because I like to learn (especially from the Bible – as you have probably figured out by now) but because it makes me sit back and take stock. So – you guessed it – I am joining in! And I hope you will learn something new from me today. Life-long learning here we come! In no particular order, here are 7 completely random things I learned this winter …

Plus, it’s usually fun and surprising to see your favorite posts (and how different they were from my favorite posts) for the past year. But first …
Once a quarter, I look forward to reading Emily Freeman’s “What We Learned” series. I am fascinated with the premise not only because I like to learn (especially from the Bible – as you have probably figured out by now) but because it makes me sit back and take stock. Emily always includes the most interesting things and I learn several new things from her post every time! So, I am joining in! And I hope you will learn something new from me today.
