At Home
I never really considered Jesus having a home as an adult. I suppose mostly I believe this because of the Scripture where it says that the Son of Man has no place to lay his head. Twice this week though, … Continue reading

Exactly Where I Am Meant
Interesting readings today! I always think of a friend of mine when I read the Nathanael reading. He and I share a special memory regarding it. Nathanael is a man without deceit we are told, a man who knows that … Continue reading
