    based on 61 ratings

    Christmas Eve parable -- kind of silly and serious at the same time -- poking a little fun at my own Scandinavian heritage. From the beginning the trained observers have failed to recognize the significance of the Nativity.

    The Middle East is a troubled place. And, really, this is nothing new. The land that we call Israel or Palestine has been characterized by instability for as long as we can remember. The players change but the game is the same. It’s all very complicated -- hinging on geographical and political ...read more

     | 7,563 views

So please don't be disappointed that I don't explain this passage verse by verse :-)] Today is traditionally known as Trinity Sunday; and it has been said that Curates and newly appointed ...read more
