Dear Friend,
I hope you are well and safe. The lockdown is easing in our state, and we are beginning to return to a few of our normal activities. At the same time, there are sad and difficult things happening across our country and the world.
As always, I have found much to contemplate in scripture, poem, and song through this time, and have written a blog post — as much for me as for anyone — on the importance of Remembering What Matters Even (Especially) in Difficult Times. If you've been troubled by recent events, perhaps you'll find it helpful.
May was an eventful month for our family. Despite the quarantine, and minding all its rules (only ten people including bride, groom, and minister, could be present at the ceremony!), our oldest son was married. We are thankful for the blessing of a new daughter, and have enjoyed seeing Craig and Athena start their new life together.
I wish you peace and joy this June!
Warmly,
Janice Campbell

P. S. I've been working on ebooks for all of the 1857 McGuffey Readers, and the 4th, 5th, and 6th readers are now available. I'm hoping to have the first three posted very soon.
