who wants ice cream?

Nana, Papa, and Tom making ice cream on the 4th. The ice cream was AMAZING!!!

My 1990 Dodge Grand Caravan has acted as my giving tree found in the story The Giving Tree. I had to retire it at 279,000 miles. After sitting for two years it fired right up with a jump start. I can't even count the number of trips we went on between Memphis, TN and Kansas City. It is now helping someone else out. Thanks Bard dog for letting me have your "party wagon". It has been a great help and blessing.

witness

I am currently taking a class from Charles Ringma entitled Building Christian Communities. Yesterday we watched and discussed the movie Witness. The movie was an excellent example of two communities that seem to be very different. However, both the police/ urban and the Amish/ Rural communities contain elements of darkness and light.
