There’s nothing like music to bring in the Christmas season. We were blessed Sabbath afternoon with a beautiful concert organized by the music director Bruce Rasmussen and the entire music department.

While it is a lot of work turning the wheel, it is gratifying putting in grains of wheat and seeing flour sprinkle [...]
