I’m always amazed at how quickly the retail world moves. One day it’s Halloween, the next day it’s Christmas (seriously—where did Thanksgiving go?), and before you know it, Valentine’s Day decorations are already on display…all before December 25th. It’s wild. And honestly, I’m grateful I’m no longer working in retail.

Have you ever wanted a specific gift growing up? I have and I remember when I was little that we used to receive these catalogues in the mail.

One thing that I wanted to talk about in this blog post is the concept of easy believism. Easy believism is probably not something that you have heard about, but it is definitely something many have experienced, and it’s dangerous. But to start, let me discuss what it’s not….
Just the other day both of my boys started back to school. My oldest went to Middle School for the first time as a sixth grader while my youngest moved up to the second grade. I couldn’t’ help but think…

I don’t know about you, but where I live it’s been raining. It’s been raining a lot and it’s not like we can pick up our phones and check the weather app and get an accurate weather forecast. It just seems to rain whenever it wants to and lately that’s been a lot.
June is a special time of year. School winds down, summer plans begin to unfold, and for many, it’s a time to honor the men who have shaped our lives. At Mt.
