My father, having barely survived being shot down in World War II, converted to the faith through his conversations with a reassuring Navy

I spent some time in conversation this week with a lovely person from an older generation. This means that the gal was in her 90’s as I am racking up birthday digits more rapidly than I’d care to admit! The rich conversation with this fine woman put me in mind of the vast differences between
