One of my readers also called to say there were a couple of groceries... Full story
Sunday, following a dinner at church, one of my grandsons went over to the rotary dial phone that's in the church basement. Picking up the receiver, he asked, "How do you work this phone?" His question took me by surprise and for a moment, I couldn't quite believe he didn't know how to use the phone. Then I realized that he'd never seen anyone use such a phone. For him, picking up a phone to make a call you simply push buttons. And that you even have a phone you can carry in your pocket or purse. That led me to thinking about other changes that...

They are contributing to our businesses, connecting with their families, and giving back to the community. Every day someone begins their journey of recovery.
