So now there comes a reckoning for his blood.” They (Joseph’s brothers) did not know that Joseph understood them. For there was an interpreter between them. Just as Jews today […]

Haiti Wrap

Sorry it’s taken so long to get to this! Didn’t mean to leave you hanging! The week was spiritually, emotionally and even physically draining for me (physically because I got a bacterial infection 2 days into it and had to hold on for that ride as well). If you are wondering what I’m talking about…go […]
