In This Place
Sometimes the daily readings are rich and meaningful, even when they are well known. Jacob’s story is fascinating to me at points and today in Genesis 28 amazing images are etched in my mind. I see him in the wilderness, … Continue reading
Like Children
Life seemed so much more simpler when we were little. We could play for hours and many of us did not have a worry in the world. I would be foolish to say that is the case universally because I … Continue reading
