Forever KC says, "I'm in my last semester of seminary and taking a voices of non-violence class. I posted a reflection paper on works by and about MLK on April 4, the 40th anniversary of his slaying. The reflection includes my memory of that day 40 years ago as well as some questions for reflection." Feel free to join in!

Dear Sally! The things she does for her children (as do we all). Go read about bacon sandwiches here. A good entry on feeling vulnerable as well. Also, she is looking for some feedback from us.

Mitch says, "Ever have a day start with everything going wrong? As a Pastor's Husband, I've noticed that Sunday morning tends to have an unsually large number of distractions & disasters.

Lorna is back at seminary in Estonia. She has had 18 lectures in the past two days! But she has also had some time to walk in the rain! See pictures here and here. She heard a sermon with homework set on her first night back.
