Automatic Glass Gates
If you were around (would be so nice!), you’d sit with me in the Kamp’s Bakery and Coffee Shop sipping cappuccino, having a Broetchen with cheese, egg, and cucumber and (much less thrilling) would watch me reading my jottings on creation and Barth’s ethics that I will be questioned about in an oral […]

Surfing for Christmas gifts, I made it to the online catalog of the Herrenhut Community. Among many other great things, they offer coffee mugs – always a useful gift, I thought!
