Love, Love, Love
An Everyday Stewardship Reflection for the 6th Sunday of Easter 2016 I found this list online of 101 Ways to Show You Love Somebody.

God’s Gift of Leisure from LA
I have taken a day after the LA Congress so 4/5 of our family can relax on the CA coast. Now, I have a cross-country travel day. So this is not a new post, for it appeared in the Main Thing Blog just several weeks after we started it, but it does speak to my current…
