Personal Notes
Ken has moved on. I’m confident he knows he made a difference in many lives.
Late January and February can be tough, emotionally, in New England. Even when it’s sunny out, things look kind of dead, and biting cold can be painful rather than invigorating, which is to say, not very inviting. Christian believers will often comfort those who feel down by assuring them that they are loved. As wonderful…
