Decided yesterday to make the front stairs safe. I am not much of a carpenter, but I do what I do what I can….they are solid and very strong ad will last for years. The old ones were getting dangerous and it was a need to be done, not want to be done… The barn

By now, you’d have thought such caricatures would have gotten old, yet despite the current trend
Joke of the year so far! Trump said during a press briefing on the coronavirus pandemic last Saturday that “I received a nice note from him recently. It was a nice note. I think we’re doing fine.” But: North Korea’s Foreign Ministry said there is/was no letter addressed to Trump “recently” by “The Supreme Leader,”

The resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead is the center of the Orthodox Christian faith. Twelve weeks of preparation precede it. This is made up of pre-lenten Sundays, Great Lent, and Holy Week. The faithful try to make this long journey with repentance, forgiveness, reconciliation, prayer, fasting, almsgiving, and study. When the feast finally
