I just snapped this picture of my dear man getting ready to grill some meat for supper. Notice how the bright sun overexposed his face? Notice how squinty-eyed he is? Could you guess that just five minutes—FIVE minutes—before I took this picture we stood on the porch watching pea-sized hail fall from the heavens? That [...]

When we mentioned to our friends David and Carol Sherwood that we plan to travel to Scotland and England in June, they immediately suggested an [...]

Mauri’s brother, Howard, flew to Chicago last October to be interviewed on a TV show. We heard a little bit about it when he returned, but today I became aware of a site with more thorough coverage. I appreciated reading it and maybe you will too.

Last Sunday in worship Steve shared this video with us. One viewing wasn’t nearly enough for me, so I found it on YouTube to watch again and give you the experience too. The audio recording dates back to 1976, but the message is timeless.
