Here in Ohio, it’s been a rainy Memorial Day. I found myself wondering about the origin of Memorial Day and while researching, I came across a great explanation and some superb insights from Kevin DeYoung.  While I find it a breeze to write regularly about church furniture, writing an article like this one from Kevin is far more difficult.  I appreciate him making it available.

Every Memorial Day I think about my Uncle Bud who died in World War II (European Theater).  I never knew him as I was born 15 years after he gave his life for his country.  Today I honor though his service, as our country honors the service of millions like him.
