Alter Anno Domini
Tuesday, January 5, 2021
I have no idea if I have my Latin right, but alter anno domini should be “another year of the Lord”, and that is, of course, what 2021 is, just like 2020 was. The actual phrase, which we sometimes shorten to A.D., is anno Domini Nostri Jesu Christi – The year of the Lord Jesus [... .. read more..
Back Online
Sunday, January 17, 2021

Cheers for the Weekend Warrior
Wednesday, January 20, 2021
Some celebrity, whose name escapes me, once made a comment that it would be great if non-celebrities had people cheering for them on occasion. Few people go into mission work for the glamour, prestige, and recognition, but sometimes when Trish and Allen share what’s going on around the home front... .. read more..
