It’s so good to hear your update and encouraging words, Chandra. Yes, quite an unpredictable journey.

To SEE, “which I believe Jonah did” the hopeless impotence that lives in all, including himself, he determined that this Life was one to be avoided and he ran and stayed to himself, below, while [...]

The Church is a tarnished bride, yet still very much loved by Christ, the Bridegroom.
