I’ve occasionally posted copies of my wife’s devotionals or links to them, but she will not be a contributor to this blog. It’s still not really a “group blog” but I do have a couple of guests posting, and now my wife. Jody is the author of Daily Devotions of Ordinary People – Extraordinary God,…

I’m appending my dad’s obituary to this post in its fully expanded version. Various papers published various portions. I greatly appreciate the expressions of sympathy and support from the comments here.

Our congressional race isn’t even close. At the same time moral standards are extremely important to me. I will tend to…
