If only I could hear some of the stories these windows could tell. I wish I could remember what it was like to gaze out these windows and watch the comings and goings of friends and family.

“Bless those who see life through a different window and those who understand their view.” — Unknown author
Through every Window in every home tells a chapter in the story of my journey through life.
The above home is the second home I lived in from the time I was two until the summer before I started kindergarten. That summer we moved to the home shown below. I loved looking through the windows and knew that excitement and adventure was awaiting me on the outside.

“The window is where curiosities meet. Insiders are curious about the outside, and outsiders are curious about the inside”.

Peeking through the curtains, watching and waiting with anticipation … wondering who will be dropping by … curiosity beckons me to the window.

Grace Church San Diego Formerly Known as Scott Memorial Baptist Church 4637 Oregon Street San Diego, CA 92116
The many Windows in the church could tell a vast array of stories regarding the comings and goings of all who consider this like home and all its inhabitants like family. This church was almost like a second home spending every Sunday morning and evening, and every Wednesday night as well. Sometimes the rest of the week as well, in my youth many a day was spent with friends playing, connecting, conversing with each other like we couldn’t wait to hear the stories we knew these windows were hearing.
