Famine Ships and Doing More

Good Gracious, God! How hard it is to “hear” the story of the Irish Famine from a real live human being! We are not designed to do numbers.  One million dead — or was it two million dead — they

Choosing the Best, Choosing Conversations

Communion and Connections – 1340 Italy and 2010 Hawaii

Let all of us – as trees – clap our hands and sing

Good Morning God,  It’s the intertwining branches that I love in this photo.  They make me think of all the people in our lives – family and friends — and how we intertwine. I love trees.  In California I loved
