This is not about Dillon’s song, "But the times… They are a changin’" (BTW, Dillon gave a concert in Geneva last week, $85 for the cheapest seats in the stadium, and the critics said it was one of the worst concerts they’d ever seen / heard / been exposed to).

It was a small group who came to hear the Harmonie Chorale sing, but 25 of those folks were visitors and the evening of song and witness was energizing. Daughter did great.

Without the following Sunday, it would have been the saddest day in history.
But it was all well planned.

We’ve had a wonderful year with the Pepperdine students (Lausanne campus). There are 55 students and I’d guess about 40 regularly attended the house church that Susan Giboney, visiting Pepperdine faculty, hosted.
Wife welcomed 10 students a week to our home for meals. The last meal she opened it up to all who wanted to come, [...]

One of my first heroes (besides family members) was the man I was named after. My Dad and Landon Brady Saunders have been great friends since attending Freed-Hardeman together in the late 50’s. Several hundred boys (and a few girls) have been named for Landon, but, as far as he knows, I was the first.
