My Painful Bible Study

At the beginning of the year I joined a women’s bible study. As I signed up, I was apprehensive. My luck with women only Bible studies do not go well. I was spoiled by my old community group women. It was hard to find a group of ladies that measured up. And so with an…
Faith Like Mary’s
We have started the Advent season, the countdown to Christmas. The ever-present question asked each year, how do you make an old story fresh? Not new but fresh. Ask questions. There’s a Christmas song that came out several years ago that asked something very fresh, “Mary, did you know?” Did she know that she kissed…
