Driving Home – Maine to Pennsylvania
Tuesday, September 12 It was a great day for a road trip. I didn’t take many pictures, but thought you may like to see the changing leaves. I am sure they are much prettier by this time – a few weeks later. I love road trips – but I also like to be home.

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. […]
