I feel like this week has gone by so quickly and yet we didn't do anything out of the ordinary. Today I made our menu for the next four weeks, and my husband did the shopping. It feels so good to have that finished for another month. Now we'll just need to go to the …

It Is Well With My Soul
I was playing through the hymn book today for a few minutes and "It Is Well With My Soul" came up. Years ago I read a book written by one of the daughters of Spafford. This daughter and her sister were born to him and his wife later in life. Most people know the story …

I read an exceptionally good memoir of the Holocaust this week. Outcry: Holocaust Memoirs by Manny Steinberg.
