I was reading three different stories from the Gospels one night before going to bed. In each story I noticed a connecting thought … there was someone trying to get to Jesus but couldn’t because other people were in the way. The three stories were: The woman with the...
DAMAGED BUT USEFUL
I was reaching for the bar of soap one morning and noticed that there was a big gash on one of its corners. It looked like someone dropped the soap on the floor. The huge gash in its side gave testimony to the trauma it had been through. But, I didn’t throw the...
