Lincoln from the WWIIPin

 

Back from our vacation. We had a good time in Washington, DC, Harpers Ferry, Antietam and Gettysburg. I’m still working on getting all the photos processed an online, but there are a few over on Flickr for now.

We definitely did quite a bit of walking. I should be in good shape for Saturday’s Race for the Cure 5k walk. Remember, if you want to make a donation to support the cause, and my efforts, you can do that easily online. All donations are greatly appreciated!

Just 6 more days!

You know, because like Weds night I wasn’t thinking “two more days until the weekend”, I was just getting through Weds…

    Friendships Matter Much More than the Value We Place on Them

    ByMike McBride Reading Time: 5 minutes

    It’s worth considering your friends and recognizing that we need all kinds of friends. We need loose connections, and we need tight connections. We need long-term friends, and we need friends for a season of our lives.

    In short, we need each other. I’m afraid this has gotten lost in our culture and priorities, and I consider myself as guilty as anyone.

    I also know that being guilty of not prioritizing friendships has hurt me. It’s likely hurting you. It is hurting all of society. It’s time we started valuing close friendships again.
