Missionary on Mackinac Island September 26, 2005
Last week Lois and I took our girls to Mackinac Island for a mini-vacation. They had never been on the island before and I promised them that someday I would take them. Tuesday was “someday.” It was perfect weather to enjoy the island.

Woody Shoemaker
Friday Woody Shoemaker stepped into my office. It’s always a good part of my day when Woody stops in.

Niles Eikenberry September 13, 2005
When I was about sixteen Niles Eikenberry hired me to work in his grocery store. My job was the clean the meat department every night. It was important that I did my job well. If the meat department was not perfectly clean people could become very sick. It was hard work back there and lonely. I worked back all night every night. It was monotonous work and there was no one to talk to. I didn’t do well. I should have but I just didn’t.
