Mary’s Song
One thing that strikes me is that Mary worships in the face of trouble. At twelve to sixteen years of age, pregnant and betrothed to a man that is not the father of her precious child and Saviour. She sees things as God sees them – dealing with what matters and ignoring the semantics. This…

Code Breakers
I would much rather be that covert follower of Christ that finds opportunity in the mundane episodes of life. Striking conversations at the Holy Spirit’s prompting and finishing strong (and on the right note).
