		<description><![CDATA[Glass Beach is a fascinating bit of sand tucked between rocky cliffs on the Pacific coast.  For decades, early in the twentieth century, local residents dumped trash over the cliffs and into the ocean. From time to time, fires would be lit to reduce the size of the pile. Everything from household trash to old [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=bobmaclafferty.wordpress.com&amp;blog=9443798&amp;post=615&amp;subd=bobmaclafferty&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[One week ago today, I enjoyed spending a beautiful, fall day hiking with family and friends. Talking and laughing, we reveled in the fresh air and sunshine. The air began to cool as we reached the end of our hike. Rounding a bend, we came upon an abandoned ammunition storage bunker. Wisely, the door had [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=bobmaclafferty.wordpress.com&amp;blog=9443798&amp;post=612&amp;subd=bobmaclafferty&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

We sang praise songs together and we worshipped together. I asked them a question. &#8220;How could you best show love someone you meet on the street, someone you don&#8217;t know?&#8221; Several  felt that hugging the [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=bobmaclafferty.wordpress.com&amp;blog=9443798&amp;post=609&amp;subd=bobmaclafferty&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

We pulled the truck into the yard, close to the old farm house and a couple of old, barely standing sheds.
