I hardly ever read my Bible or anything else that might stimulate my spirituality. I always seem to be unhappy with the ...read more

    The Title “El-Roy” or the God who Sees was given to God by an Egyptian slave woman named Hagar. In Genesis 16:1-13 the familiar story of the tension between Hagar, Abraham’s servant, and Sarah, has all the ingredients of a modern day Hollywood soapie.
