I have found myself thinking more about the Sabbath as I adjust to a working lifestyle. Work has been interesting and I have been enjoying it, but I realised, on my first full weekend … More A Sabbath Bath
When I think about the history of Israel, I think of an ocean flowing with waves of victory in between dips of defeat. Israel has suffered and overcome, been exiled and returned, been weak and strong, dishearted and passionate. Nations have called them abandoned, and nations have called them blessed.
