Elevated Significance

Spontaneous trips are the best. On one particular trip, I gazed out of the window at the beauty of a lone church steeple in the distance. I wondered about how the church steeple became symbolic of the Church, yet many modern churches no longer have them? >>>Read More

Have Some Respect

Handicapped parking spots are close to buildings for easier access. Bathroom stalls are bigger, have grab bars and allow room for walkers, wheelchairs and canes. Sadly, many either ignore or simply don't care. How can you help? >>>Read More
