Remembering A Mother on Good Friday…
I cannot image a woman standing at the foot of a cross watching the agony that her Son is going through, and yet she was left no choice but to do just that. It took great courage to stand there with Him until he passed. Knowing he was the Son of God did little for the anguish she suffered for the Man on the cross. On Good Friday we forget that Mary, his Mother, suffered with him as well. For Good Friday and Holy Saturday, let’s remember Mother Mary.

There’s Just Something About the Feel of a Real Book You Can Hold in Your Hands…
Patrick Jones, AuthorI wrote a blog not long ago about how my daughter at two years of age received her first library card.
A couple of decades later she has a room full of books. Many of them I gave to her when I moved from St. Louis to Crawford County, Missouri.
She still is in the modern age and uses her computer for reading, but she’d rather have a book.
Although my son has almost every type of electronic device known for communication, he still has books for his three sons to read. The cherry wood bookcase has books so packed in that if he buys anymore, I’ll have to make another bookcase.

While Carol waited with her mother between tests, she took out her
