I hope these words and the Christian perspective offer you some hope.

Now this shattered the worldview of Rabbi Kushner…”

Hi Keeley,
I enjoyed listening to your sermon. It was very inspiring. Annice loved it also.
Regards, Gran
Thanks Gran! I’m glad you all were able to listen to it. I was in Hermleigh the weekend before last. I got to see Joe and the farm and stop by the cemetery and see your new addition, which is very nice. Hope you all are well. – Keeley
