This has been a year for the books. Some of us for better, some of us for worse. I asked Cortney Inbody, our pastor-in-residence, to join me in this week's episode because I felt like we all needed a deep breath and a check in. I think some of us are burned out, maybe frustrated, tired, and more. I don't want you to forget that I'm here for you (if you ever need anything -- tech related or otherwise.) We're in this together. As much as we want to give to other people, sometimes we need to take care of ourselves. This is a different kind of Christmas season and as Cortney puts it, perhaps the most Christmas-y Christmas.
