A missionary came to our church in Tennessee (West Hills Presbyterian). He had a Bible story cloth with him. The International Mission Board makes fabric panels of forty-two pictures of stories from the Bible. These panels are used to spread the gospel to the non-literate peoples of the world. Missionaries teach the stories of the Bible using the pictures printed on the fabric. Each panel comes with a paper listing the corresponding scriptures.

Reunion VIII: Jeanette
Jeanette designed the T-shirts for our family reunion. She used the flower that Grandpa always used on his cards and letters. Before I could read, I knew the packages from Grandpa based on that little smiling flower.

Reunion VII: Connecting Grandma
Tom set up a laptop for Grandma to use so that she can be connected to the world via the Internet! Grandma will be able to receive the family emails and check our blogs. Right now she relies on my Mom to print off the emails and blog posts and snail-mailing them to her in Florida.
