    Lent 5: James and John ask Jesus for seats of privilege at his right and left. Ambition, power and glory are often pursued - but at a cost. Glory to Jesus is much different than what we see... Be careful what you ask for!

Do we put up our traditional Christmas decorations? And, again, I’m sure that you found my answer a bit odd … ...read more
