Rise & Shine

This is just me sharing about moving forward in spite of the hard chaos of today.

Tressa & Garth Bellows have navigated every parent's worst nightmare - the 2020 drowning death of their 22 year-old daughter Abigael. Tressa's light shines brightly in this conversation even in the midst of unthinkable grief. Let us listen and learn how to love & support one another in the hardest of times.

Maria Banks works for the Chambersburg Area School District with students who need extra support, help, guidance, and grace. May this conversation enlighten, encourage, and challenge you to see and hear beyond what you see and hear.

John & Ruth went to South Africa with Operation Christmas Child in June. What an adventure, what a learning experience, and what a wake-up call to the conditions of poverty so many children live in today. And yet . . . JOY!
