Episcopal News Service
In her latest book, Myth and Memory: My Childhood in World War II Greece, Katerina Katsarka Whitley, acclaimed Episcopal author and speaker, recounts the dramatic days leading up to—and following—the Nazi occupation of Greece.

“Magical is really the perfect word for it,” said Rob Rose, owner of The Christmas Shop at Timber Creek.
It’s a log cabin built in 1925 that, once a year, changes into a floor-to-ceiling holiday extravaganza. Rose, an interior designer by trade, runs the Christmas Shop at Timber Creek with his husband Gerry Ketchum.
“He’ll come up with the start of an idea and yeah – I usually blow it way out of proportion,” Rose laughed.
It’s no small task turning every square inch into a winter wonderland – especially when you consider, Rose and Ketchum also live in the cabin. […]
