When I was in high school, I had taken a Ceramics and Sculpture class. One of our projects was making a clay sculpture. After much deliberation, I finally decided to make a vase. The process my teacher taught us to use was the slab method which was tedious for this teenager: knead the clay, roll
We were hovering in the pantry the night of the tornado warning. The alert told us to take shelter so we didn’t waste time gathering together in there. As my husband and I prayed, my daughter was hunched over and crying. She was visibly trembling with fear. The thought of a tornado was scary, and
