The Hourngs in Cambodia!

A Quiet Reflection in the Midst of a Busy Day Today is Good Friday. And yet, for me, it felt like any other busy workday at the university. The semester is coming to an end, and like many lecturers and staff, we are all rushing to complete final grades, assessments, and reports.

When we fill our cups early, we aren't running on empty when the afternoon heat or the stresses of mom-life hit. "But seek first the kingdom of ...
