This morning we are going to visit Shiloh Military Battlefield, about an hour and a half north of Tupelo. We’re making the trip because Maria and Kevin (Vanessa’s mother and step-father) are visiting from California. They arrived last Tuesday after driving five days across the country. Maria came to Tupelo in Ma ...

Posted by Ray Pritchard on Monday, November 19, 2007
For the last few weeks I’ve been devising in my mind my top ten favorite Civil War sites. The only governing rule was that they had to be sites that I’ve actually visited, which rules out many famous places. And they don’t have to be battlefields, just notable places connected to the Civil War. So here is ...

Lately I’ve been reading Jon Meacham’s book Franklin and Winston: An Intimate Portrait of an Epic Friendship.

Don’t forget to pray for the Allied Force team in Costa Rica today ... Also, Greg and Carolyn Kirschner and their four chil...

Friday, February 28 We arrived back in Oak Park late this evening, a little weary from the travel but glad for the time spent at Word of Life Florida. I ended up riding 102 miles on the bike I bought, then I turned it over to the conference center today. Last night I spoke at 10:30 PM to the students at the Bible Institute ...
