I grew up in rural Wisconsin where my father was a veterinarian. We always had lots of pets around from Great Danes to Siamese cats.

After I left home there were two boys and a girl added by adoption and even later my baby brother was born. Ten of us in all and I am the oldest.
I had a forty plus year career in healthcare information technology under various names from data processing to information services to informati

THE EMPTY TOMB

My very favorite Easter hymn is Robert Lowry’s “Up From The Grave (He Arose)”which was written in 1874. I think I like it because not only are the lyrics jubilant and joyous, the music is invigorating. As you sing it or listen to it you can see the rock rolling away from the grave and the Savior glowing in radiant white robes.

Abby's Gift by Kim Janine Ligon
"Sometimes, the best thrillers take their time, lulling you into a false sense of security before twisting the knife. The first fifty pages are deceptively quiet, focused heavily on building the daily, somewhat mundane life of the main character, but " Read more of this review »
