Story Round-Up: Features in The Herald-News, April 11 through April 16

This is the first year in many years I have not used vacation time for Eastern Orthodox Holy Week.

I had hoped to catch some livestream services last night but a family issue (all resolved; everyone is OK) prevented it.

And tonight I'm working (but the story is very worthy, believe me), so I'll miss the livestream again.

Now here's the benefit of the livestream: I can make these up tomorrow. How beautiful it is that God is not limited by our idea of time.

Below is information on where to find, well, information. And beyond that, are the links to my feature stories for this past week.

Be safe, be well, be blessed.


Non-bylined features:

Search by topic (people, pets, A and E, faith, health, and food) at theherald-news.com.

Once a week, I do combine a week's worth into a single blog post.

Social media:

Daily updates: I do post the briefs and calendars on Twitter during the week, so you're welcome to follow me at @Denise_Unland61.

BryonySeries stuff: I post curated content relating to the BryonySeries at @BryonySeries. And assorted related content at www.facebook.com/BryonySeries. And of course, please follow the adventures of Bertrand the Mouse on Instagram at bertrand_bryonyseries.
