    The Way Of The Cross

    Contributed by Dawn Duryea on Mar 4, 2024
     | 933 views

That’s the way it feels sometimes – you just make a decision and then things happen that immediately bring your decision into question. This wilderness, of course, is metaphorical and now we find ourselves in ...read more
