Greeting from Beverly Hills, FL
It’s been a wonderful week here in lovely Citrus county. We’re blessed to live here. To bask in the warm sunshine. To enjoy being close to our family. To have an opportunity to minister in the Word. And share these blog posts every day.
However, we realize in the midst of our enjoyment, there is sickness, suffering and death. We learned this week of the passing of a friend from the Kansas City area, Bob Harmon. He was 94.

At the end of this recap is a link to a beautiful tribute written by my friend Roger Shouse. I hope you’ll read it. Continue reading
