My Childhood Church
12/25/2009 11:00:23 AM I guess It’s time to write a little more about my church. Where was I? Oh ya, upon first reading and rereading my first post, I wrote about St. Petri, my 1st church. My cousin Wally even made a post, so that encourages me to write some more. Currently, I’m reclining in my bathrobe in the presence of my family, Mark & Sally. We are basically snowbound today.
