- getting an iPhone (writing this post from it)
- sharing common ground and time with Steve

Along the way God has talked to me, held me and given fresh stuff and

Beverly had first met Edith when she was taking her blood pressure. Edith began by saying,"My name is Edith Burns. Do you believe in Easter?" Beverly said, "Why yes I do."
