This post will feature a little commentary about our trip and tour through Pittsburg, PA. I’ll also add a photo gallery to show some of what we saw. If some of the photos look odd, it is because we did a lot of the tour from the bus, so there may be reflections and other…
We finally did it! Dawn and I got away for a full week’s worth of vacation. This may sound unreasonable to some of you, but it has been around 20 years – give or take – since we took a full week off. Yes, sure, we have taken two or three days here and there….

This post will be a little different, but it is important. Last night, our Gathering group of believers had a special guest. He is Kate Cumming’s dad, Dr. Joseph Hames and he has been a medical doctor for over 40 years. He spent many years as an emergency room doc, then made a switch to…
The image used as the header for this posting is a picture of what – I believe – will be one one of the beautiful attributes of heaven. The image shows a black woman, a white woman, and an Asian (Korean) woman showing unconditional love and concern for each other. My friend, Angela, was being…
