  • Daily Bale for October 2, 2012

    Today started significantly different than most other days. Hannah is getting braces and that’s done at Case Western Reserve. It’s a lot cheaper but it isn’t exactly around the corner, being a good 45 minute drive away. Of course, there isn’t a whole lot around the corner where I live anyway!…

  • My Church and I

    A lady in our church gave me a postcard that I’ve reproduced. It was sent out in 1917 to invite friends and members of the First Baptist Church of Sayre, PA, to their Anniversary Service. It’s a great summary of our church covenant.
