The purpose may seem insignificant, but it&#8217;s there, as a thing&#8217;s reason for existence.

A new decade. 100 years ago, our nation was entering what became known as the &#8220;Roaring Twenties.&#8221; It was a time of economic and cultural growth and prosperity. As we ease into the 2020s, I&#8217;m wondering if these will be the &#8220;Roaring Twenties&#8221; for me creatively and spiritually. Will I see new [&#8230;]]]></description>
