See it All American Tour
Fri. August 25th Kent Stage
On August 25, we made our first visit to The Kent Stage. We were there for the Devon Allman and Donavon Frankenreiter – See it All American Tour. My daughter had given me two front row seats for my birthday. I’ll add a basic review next week. For now, here is what the concert was:…

It has been a very long time since I last wrote anything. I did not trust myself to write and to be pleasing to and honoring God. It seemed that everything I read on social media was about politics, and some of the things being said made my blood boil. And the sad part was what many of my Christian friends were writing.
