1. Below is a compilation of some of our staff and contributor’s recommended reads for this summer (based, of course, on what we are reading). Let us know if you find a book you love!

  5. A set of Holy Week poems written and published first by Tanner Olson on his website, writtentospeak.com.
  6. Today I would like to share The Legend of the Dogwood, inspired by the words of Stoney Cooper.
