Everyone who lives here knows The Mound. A bump in the ground that once served as a landmark to guide farmers on their way to the marketplace, and before that, a sacred ceremonial ground for the Wichita Indians. Today, it's a protected, fenced area that offers a nice view of the Dallas Skyline on a clear day and often hosts special events. I've even taken my students there as part of a community field trip. But I think my favorite Mound experience is the annual Easter Sunrise Service. 
Watching the sun rise as we worship on a most holy day sets the world straight again. I like being reminded of how blessed we are to have moved here twelve years ago. And now, with this as my setting, I'll blog about our life here. Or at least, I'm going to try!
