Finding God in Nature
Recently, I went to visit the American Pre-Raphaelite exhibit at the National Gallery in Washington DC.

In Jesus’ Name: The Beloved Son

In Jesus’ Name: The Resurrection and Life
Am I too late to celebrate you O Savior of the World? *Woman why are you crying? Have I been too caught up in the now– in the ordinary things of this world? I am anxious, O Lord, and I can not see you. Who is it your are looking for, child? Lord do you…
