Safe distance, originally uploaded by Ron Dauphin. An Amish family visits Dundee Falls. The younger children were barefoot but not allowed to dip their feet in the water.

I’ve always felt comforted by the analogy that God’s love is like that of a good mother. That’s probably because I had a good mother. I’m thankful for my own mother who has taught me much about Christian charity; for my sister who, with no children of her own, has dedicated her life to loving [...]
