I love how life weaves together. Our vacation to Achill Island off the coast
of Ireland with good friends was special.
We hiked the sheep paths up Slievemore Mountain, and stood on the cliffs
and watched the endless roll of black waves.
We rented surfboards and taught our daughters how to surf. My great grandmother Sarah Baun was born in Ireland
in 1843. Sarah married Henry Baun, my
great grandfather in 1864 in Pittsburgh.
My oldest Baun family Bible has a date written on its back cover of 1868. Each time I hold this Bible, I imagine Henry
and Sarah reading from it, and I am touched by a faith that reaches back 150+
years. Pass your faith in life on!
