We finally got our phone installed at our new house. This means I’ll be able to blog from home. In fact, I’ll be able to blog while watching TV. Perhaps I’ll offer commentary during the commercials about what I think of tonight’s episode of “24.”

This is the potential ministry opportunity Ive written about several times in the past. Its taken several months for both of us to complete our due […]
