Pressure Word From Wiese June 17, 2026 What’s the water pressure at your house? Two weeks ago at our home, I had a plumber install a new PRV, a “pressure reducing valve.” Living in Peachtree City, we apparently have a reputation for higher-than-average water pressure.

Me, A Witness?
Me, A Witness? Word From Wiese May 13, 2026 Tomorrow is known as Ascension Day in our liturgical calendar.
