Church marathon
Holy week is a church marathon for Amanda and I. Being in the choir means we sing Holy Thursday, Good Friday, and the Easter Vigil tonight. Toss in blessing of the baskets Saturday afternoon and that would be more church than most people can handle in a year. But we don’t stop there. Amanda being…

A signed detour route will be in place for motorists…
