Some of you have asked me to post my little soliloquy that I spoke in church. We needed to stick to ten minutes, so we had to be brief.
So, here it is. Thank you for your prayers!!!

Moonlight
I shared in an earlier post some of the things we came to appreciate about living without electricity. One thing I failed to mention was the moon light.
As I have written before, during our stint with the absence of power we became more aware of the daily rhythms of the days. The sun […] Read more…

Happy Father’s Day To My Man
Dearest Mark,
Seventeen years ago you became a father.
