A letter from Jeremy Berg, who sometimes writes posts for this blog… I’m very keen to hear what you do when Jehovah’s Witnesses come to your door. Can you tell us what you feel, what you want to do, what you do do? Scot – I had two very nice Jehovah’s Witness women show up…

Our prayers are with the families of the dead, for the wounded and for the families of the wounded; we pray for the attacker and his family as well. Gracious God, the comfort of all who sorrow, the strength of all who suffer: Let the cry of those in misery and need come to you,…

I’ve seen the little fella now a few times … and now we’re beginning to think we’ve got a problem, like realizing the church pianist might do better at a different church… Anyway, we’ve got a skunk who has discovered that he can feed nightly at our bird feeder. We want to be hospitable but…
