The Patriotic Normalcy of an Evening on the 4th
My definition of normal 4th of July has been different the past few holidays. However, this was a new first. We had the Covid year being told a parade would not happen in Linton. I remember being a part of the group praying this would work and oh boy God worked through this Prayer Brigade…
