vacations and labor day weekend

For many people Labor Day means closing a beach house, or leaving a rented villa in a beautiful European city, or summer day outings with family and friends, or, shall I count the endless vacation choices?

emmet fox (1886-1951)

Seventeen years ago I bought a book titled The Sermon On The Mount The Key To Success In Life. A lot of years passed since I last read it. It was packed away, found, and recently read again because it’s a book with a lot of substance. The www allowed for further information about the [...]

a bag of letters

Last night I read a few of the letters I’d placed in a Tiffany’s bag long ago. They’d been in storage in another State and recently retrieved.
