Circa 1942 This is a picture of the Hawthorne family, who lived close to Maytown, PA. My mother (Florence) is standing on the right. A lot has happened since 1942. Vernon and Joyce are the only two siblings living. The others are totally alive, but in Heaven.

They make a deliberate decision to stand up and lean into the grace of God. Just like you, the prodigal son was given an inheritance; he was a member of the […]
