Dismal winter day

Still cold and some snow flurries, but this snow was from a few days ago.

The weekly lenten ecumenical  program was at the Church of God this evening.  Several congregations share a meal and devotions about this season.  A different community hosts it each week.

Again, the Writers Conference

Well, I had to put another Writers Conference photo because I am still thinking about the event.  The conference had so many good sessions, I have not been able to absorb it all yet. (And a blogger I follow posted a pix from the event too.)
