Daily Bread- Sky Garden August 18, 2018While in London, a friend arranged for my wife Marlene and me to visit the Sky Garden. On the top floor of a thirty-five-story building in London’s business district, the Sky Garden is a glass-encased platform filled with plants, trees, and flowers.

But I am also concerned about our moral uprightness and the health of our souls. Therefore I must op […]Winn Collier
- The Safest Place August 16, 2018Weather forecasters predicted a hurricane would tear through the town where my friend and her young daughter lived. Hours before the storm arrived, my friend posted a picture of her toddler asleep on a bed of pillows in the bathtub—the safest place in their house. Brown curls framed her serene face; dark lashes fringed her closed eyelids. Completely at peace […]Jennifer Schuldt
