WHO DOES WHAT? Yesterday morning, before the fireplace downstairs, I was lamenting how hard it is to stay close to Jesus throughout each day. “What is my part in all this, Lord, and what is Yours?” I emptied my consciousness of all thoughts of my own as I stared into the flames…until these words arrived […]
