I'm not sure this is adding to what he says but it's …
There are times in life when some of the buried past comes up, and last week was one of them. Last Thursday, we said goodbye to the matriarch of the family that lead the Catholic Charismatic prayer group I was a part of in the late 1970's and early 1980's. We've stayed connected with the …
