A Sundial's Saga
http://sundialsaga.blogspot.com/
At first I wrote about religion. Then politics and social justice. Now I write about everything including food, music, exercise, wedding planning, colors, children, movies, books, sociology, psychology, and education. A Sundial's Saga represents me (the Sundial) and my journey in life. It's my place of self-expression regarding events in my life, and public current affairs.
