I’m dissatisfied with my current web and social media presence. I’m using WordPress.com for the backend of my blog, and I don’t find it as user-friendly as I’d like.

You’ll need to read yesterday’s post, “Storms that Threaten…” in order to get the context for this. I sat on a bench in Nescopeck Community Park, looking out over the Susquehanna River. I had spent the last hour walked around town, remembering all kinds of things. I recognized houses where members of the church I … Continue reading …Waters that Endure
