I found a roll of film- not sure what I sho...

While waiting for the rest of the family to get ready for church this morning, I thought I would see if I can post a blog from my Blackberry. I'm sitting in a very small North Dakota town (population less than 20) to go to a hundred year old church. The temperature is mid 40's, and the sun is shi...
