Some thoughts

Seems appropriate.

This blogger matched a piece of art and music to Scriptures from all 3 cycles of the church year - the Lectionary. Beautiful.

Have you ever thought of God as a loyal friend? He’ll stick up for you even to yourself!

Good description of the pandemic!

Love the book and love the movie based on it. Read and watch them both!
