Christmas cheer

If you need a dose of Christmas cheer and a little extra belief in the goodness of humans, take a listen. It’s fun, too, listening to the old-time-radio format and think that this used to be the norm.

Inspiring Story

What an amazing and inspiring story. I’m close to some of the people described in this story. This is a great telling of what I can only describe as a series of actual miracles. Many people’s lives were blessed through these events.

A City Sidewalk Christmas!
