Long-Distance Grandparenting: Nurturing the Faith of Your Grandchildren
When my daughter and son-in-law announced in May of 2021 that they were moving to Seattle with my then almost-one-year-old granddaughter, I was both happy for them and sad for me. It was a great opportunity for them and a chance to explore a new area of this beautiful country we live in, but it really posed great consternation for me and my husband. They had been living near Columbia, and we had gotten plenty of opportunities to spend time with them and our newest granddaughter. ...

For many centuries, Christians have spoken of the season of Lent and then of Holy Week leading up to Easter as a journey, a road, a pilgrimage that we are walking by faith in the company of our fellow believers. But even as we approach this journey afresh each year, it is all too easy to think that we know the destination and have been there before, and thus to lose our sense of wonder and awe at what Jesus accomplished. Easter again—that’s nice. Ho hum…...
