If you admire our faith --- strengthen yours.
If you admire our sense of commitment --- deepen yours.
If you admire our community spirit --- build your own.
If you admire the simple life --- cut back.
If you admire deep character and enduring values --- live them yourself.
-An Amish Quotation

Gratitude: The Parent Of All Other Virtues
We can only be said to be alive in those moments when our hearts are conscious of our treasures.
-Thornton Wilder
If there’s one uniquely American holiday, it’s Thanksgiving.
It’s a day unlike any other. It’s a day that O Henry celebrated with these words:
“There is one day that is ours. Thanksgiving Day…is the one day that is purely American.”
As these images demonstrate, it is a gentle day…a joyful day…a peaceful day …a day for family and friends…a day for conversation…food, and community.

Andy Sokol was one of a kind, and his kind was pure gold. We crammed a lifetime worth of memories into the time we knew him.
This humble, unassuming man was a genuine hero at Normandy and Bastogne where he earned the Bronze Star and seven other medals for courage and valor. Yet Andy did not consider himself to be a hero. The heroes, according to Andy, were the people who did not come home.
Andy Sokol is representative of the best in every person who ever wore or will wear an Army uniform.
By honoring Andy, we honor his brothers and sisters in combat then and now.

Recently, Kitch and I made our way to the Arena at Casey Plaza. It’s one of the most impressive symbols of change, progress and growth in northeastern Pennsylvania. It’s a place where thousands of people go to cheer on the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins, and it’s become a cultural center for thousands of people not only from northeastern Pennsylvania but from beyond.
But there’s a little known story about the Arena that I think is appropriate to tell. You see someone visited the Arena, someone who helped the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins, someone who really liked northeastern Pennsylvania is about to be inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame. His name is Coach Herb Brooks; yes, the legendary coach who orchestrated the Miracle at Lake Placid.

Mr. Bill Coleman’s Photographs, The Amish and Forgiveness To Be Featured In An Unplugged Segment Of The New Windsor Park Stories
Searching for materials that would give life to a commentary on the Amish and forgiveness connected us with a genius named Bill Coleman. Bill has been photographing the Amish for 31 years.
Bill is a talented man…a kind man…a driven man…a good man. He is one of those people you like from the first hello, and the people who work with him are nothing short of impressive.
