Warm springs Sundays after church …

A new feature shortcast from Wayne D. King

Warm spring Sundays, filled with the hope that spring always brings. Sun shining on my face as I left church and greeted Uncle Harry at the door. Uncle Harry was a deacon in our church and he wasn’t my uncle – he was everyone’s uncle.
