Sunday With Longfellow
Goodness not quite a month ago was Thanksgiving Day. Though it does feel like a long month ago. On that very night on Great American Family the true story of Longfellow’s poem was debuted.

Bruised Feet; A Full Heart
This weekend saying it’s busy has been an understatement. There has been some craziness around here so it has actually been a welcome distraction for me.

My Church Community
Growing up I saw this community in action. My grandparents, on both sides of my family, were at the forefront of those activities. Seeing their example was the best thing for me and my siblings and cousins to watch through the years. The past couple of weeks have been a bit stressful. Too many things…
