R2 News from Seminary

News from Ray & Ruth Ann about life at Seminary. This web log was started as we prepared for a trip to Mississippi to spend a month with LDR (Lutheran Disaster Response), and continued when we returned to seminary. The blog went with us on internship, and now has followed us back to seminary for our senior year.
