  At the beginning of last week my dad came to visit and we started work on a shed.  By the end of the week I'd taken Anna to see little horses and made my first ever vegetarian chicken*.  Here are some pics: [caption id="attachment_2843" align="alignnone" width="300" caption="Little Horse"][/caption] [caption id="attachment_2844" align="alignnone" width="300" caption="Vegetarian Chicken  "][/caption] […]

• Thoughts from General Convention July 17, 2009
  One of my friends, Dr. Christopher Wells, was recently interviewed reguarding his views of the latest resolutions passed by General Convention.
