Last Sunday on our way back from the respite pool with the 27 person Ohio group the first truck witnessed a man getting stoned, literally, with a rock.

5/23/10 “One of the biggest things that I enjoy is being able to spend time with the Lord each day. Not that I couldn’t do it before, but it’s more of a laid back setting.
