  • Faith In The Right Things

    Contributed by Michael Blitz on Mar 16, 2025
     | 423 views

    Good Morning. Today, we have a tough lesson, in that it seems to show us a Jesus who is not the approachable loving friend we sometimes can imagine, but standoffish, aloof, and cold; similar to the way he talks to Mary in Cana before He turns water into wine.
