and Purposeful Prose
Image by Ben Scherjon from Pixabay My College journey is nearing the finish line once again. Today was my last Saturday in class, thank the Lord! Ten hours in class, homework, and assignments, on top of what I was already carrying at work and home, felt like a marathon. Completely draining. I thought this was [...]

Back in October the local Anglican church had roofers come in and put new shingles on this heritage building. It's the oldest church here in our city. Isn't it a charming little church?
