We celebrated my Dad's 90th birthday today, and I'm posting this from his new computer. Dad had worn his old PC out, so nothing like a new screaming fast machine. Did I mention that my Dad also continues to teach flying? Plus, tonight the Sunday School class he teaches threw him a big party. So, a great day with my Dad to celebrate 90 great years. Happy Birthday, Dad. I love you. -Chuck

The same Spirit that reversed Babel, fulfilled ancient promises, and launched the early church is still moving today - creating understanding where there's confusion, building bridges where there are walls, and reminding us that we're all part of one magnificent, ongoing story.
