Like many others who watched the 2021 Olympics, I keep thinking about Simone Biles, an athlete who has established herself as one of the most talented gymnasts of all time. This year, mental health struggles made competing not only difficult, but dangerous. So Biles made the painful decision to withdraw from some parts of the competition, both for her health and safety and to give her teammates a better chance at earning a medal in the team gymnastics final.

It turns out rest is pretty difficult. I had no idea how bad I was at it.
On March 9th of 2020, my husband and I landed in Nashville at midnight, grinning and still full of adrenaline from spending the weekend in North Dakota doing the music ministry we so desperately love. We heard the conversations and knew the concerns for this new virus that was spreading around the world, but surely it would be under control before it really affected us.
