Running

I run a bit. I’ve run a few races from 5ks to marathons, but mostly I run for the enjoyment and the physical benefits. This week I had the opportunity to do a run that I’ve always wanted to do, but had never been able to accomplish. I was in New York [...]

Another Great Easter….what now?

We had a wonderful Easter Sunday celebration in our church this year.
