I cannot say for certain this post will be received correctly since I usually try to write to the people who are “on the fence” about faith.

Sometimes I like to jump in my car and travel somewhere I have never been, for the mere sake of doing something I have never done, in a place I have never seen before. Many years ago, for instance, I went to the coast of South Carolina with a friend who had lived there many
A few years ago I was attending the wedding of a beloved family member. She looked radiant and enchanting in her wedding dress. Far too much time had passed since the last time we had seen each other. I was meeting the Groom for the first time, and I’m sure he was a little intimidated
