Each week David writes a devotional/opinion article for his blog "For Family and Friends." The weekly articles began several years ago as a regular devotional e-mail for Carol and their children. As more and more people requested to be on the e-mail list, David instead opted for the convenience of a weekly blog article. You can access the blog at www.family-friends-others.blogspot.com.
