Too Much Love for Happily Ever After

18 Feb

When our daughters were pre-teens and teens, they had friends who were sisters. The four girls enjoyed putting on plays in our basement and we loved watching them.

Praying for You

17 Feb

31 Jan

In the last few days, I have been writing and reading about the 1960s. It was quite depressing at first—the Cold War, the Bay of Pigs, the Cuban Missile Crisis, assassinations, the Vietnam War, riots . . . . Then, I realized that the 1960s didn't last forever.
