The Memorial That Disappeared Series

When I do, I don’t take very good pictures - in fact I sometimes re-do old pictures - especially of bread. I suppose in some ...read more

“When God closes a door, he opens a window, but it's up to you to find it. In the meantime, you can praise Him in the hallway.”
