I finished my mosaic crochet hat. I am not as pleased with my yarn choices as I was in the beginning but it is a hat. If I make this again, I'm going down a hook size. I think my work was too loose.

We are living in anxious times. Many people are carrying more than they say. There is tension in our country, tension in our communities, tension in families, and often tension within our own hearts.

Christian peace does not grow ...
