Forging Liberty

I got to Mombo’s after a week’s worth of work, and she fixed us a meal of green rice casserole, oven baked fish and sliced tomatoes. We decided to watch the first episodes of the the HBO mini-series that Deb had taped for me–JOHN ADAMS. It stars Paul Giamatti, Laura Linney, David Morse, and Tom […]

Caitlan has let us know that she and Kyle arrived safely in Oxford. Thanks be to God. I hope they have a wonderful time during his visit there. Then she will be studying day and night for her final exams (I think they are called collections) before coming home on June 17th. I am so […]

Good Friday. Thank you, Lord, or the gift of your Son.

Today Judy and Charles came at 10 a.m., and we headed out to Leeds Castle after a breakfast of tea and fish sandwiches. Leeds Castle was crowded because it was a holiday, so we had to queue up to get in. Once […]
