An Attitude of Celebration
An Attitude of Celebration Doris High I often think about the attitude of celebration during holidays, birthdays, and events that bring cause for celebration – and the many who refuse to celebrate. However, what triggered this article was reading the story of the prodigal son in Luke 15:28 when the older son refused to celebrate. […]
Departing Guests and Impending Storm
Monday, September 4 and Tuesday, September 5 Lydia was on the road to Maine so early that I didn’t think about taking a picture of her, but I thought about my camera when I noticed Nsimba using his selfie stick and wearing a new t-shirt he bought at the music festival. Nsimba and Elizabeth still […]

Scenery on Our Drive Home

Bringing […]
