    I have weighed recently the compassion fatigue that we all face. A pastor quietly lay the pistol to his head, his load had been so heavy, did anyone care? Maybe we miss it sometimes?

We see him at the beginning of Jesus’ ministry and then we hear him speak in defence of Jesus halfway through the story and then we don’t see him again until ...read more
