…the oyster suppers at St. Paul’s? We used to have oyster and chicken salad dinners here at the church. I was a “waitress” for the oyster suppers here starting when I was a teenager. Lots of walking back and forth to the kitchen for platters of fried oysters. My mother, Erma Lentz, was one of…
“For unto you is born in the City of David … a Savior, which is Christ the Lord.” And each and every year since I was ten years old, I have heard the voice of the cartoon image named Linus as he walks off the stage in a national setting and then looks at the…
