When God Turns “Ugly” into Unexpected Beauty
When we first moved into our 1920s-era mint-green house, I had no idea just how much green paint one house could possibly hold. My best guess? There must’ve been a sale on it sometime after an F5 tornado flattened much of our street back in 1985—because this house had green everywhere.

Boot Aisle Blessings
So the other day, I stopped into the Erie City Mission Thrifty Shopper in Girard —to only look for a particular type of riding-style boots I wanted. So… I didn’t grab a cart.
