Change the World, Part 2

11/28/2018

 
I hope that you had a wonderful Thanksgiving with your family and friends. We had a great time together and such a feast! Now the days are getting shorter and the nights colder, and it is that special time of the year to remember the coming of Jesus - both in looking back to his birth so long ago in Bethlehem, and then looking ahead to someday when He comes again in glory.

Also, it is a fun list of really different places to visit all over the country.  So far we have been to maybe ten of the major parks, and there are almost sixty (we probably should have made an earlier start on this particular list!)  This summer, Acadia National Park in Maine was our destination, and it did not disappoint.
