Naturally, I followed Google Maps to the "Bell Rock Pathway Trailhead Parking Lot." But when we got there, I didn't see any Bell Rock.
At the Big Sandy Family Conference last week, the students got so many great photos! Families together, faces smiling, kids all excited, speakers in action—exactly the kind of images we were going for. Like these . . . But as I was reviewing the photos afterwards,...
