Some of the best journeys take an unexpected route and along the way people find beauty, reminders of home and connections with new people. Such is the journey of art printed on fabric depicting scenes from the life of Jesus through the eyes of an artist from Kenya.

Grace Notes

Wednesday, June 18, 2025
Saunter—It’s a word we seldom use in our everyday conversations. Upon consulting my trusty Webster’s dictionary, I’ve concluded that it’s not something most of us do much of, either. “Saunter: to walk about in an idle or leisurely manner.”Sauntering. Taking our time. Slowing down. Relaxing.
