Beautiful Abilene countryside. The lane leading to the farmhouse. Mimosa tree. I always think of Amy Carmichael's book about a girl called Mimosa, when I see these trees. My Grandpa grew up in this farmhouse with his one brother and three sisters. I am the 5th generation to have slept in this house. It is right in the middle of wheat fields in rural Kansas. We were there for the 122nd Birthday of Dwight Eisenhower. Dwight D. Eisenhower's 122nd birthday will be marked this year with a number of activities at the Eisenhower Presidential Library, Museum and Boyhood Home in Abilene. A wreath laying ceremony is slated for 10:30 a.m. on Saturday, Oct. 13. Maj. Gen. John K. Davoren, Commanding General, 35th Infantry of Ft. Leavenworth and CSM Miguel Rivera of the First Infantry Division at Ft. Riley will lead a procession t
Looking to Christ for my vision and hope.
