The Value of One

Hope you all had a lovely Thanksgiving! We had a great day and I ate too much, as usual.

“Make a joyful noise unto the LORD, all ye lands. Serve the LORD with gladness: come before his presence with singing. Know ye that the LORD he is God: it is he that hath made us, and not we ourselves; we are his people, and the sheep of his pasture. Enter into his gates with [...]

He’s gone from one of the [...]

We just saw a great old film–Meet John Doe starring Gary Cooper and Barbara Stanwyke. It was really great and perfect for the present political time.
