I tasted my first true "lifestyle" accusation last night from my bishop as I was resigning my pastorate. It truly irked me to no end. It put the...
Arch, take it one step at a time. There is no timeframe here. There is no need to go faster or slower than you want to go. If I have any...
Exceptionally well said and exceptionally true. Jesus met me in my turmoil on Good Friday and I believe that in that moment of grace this is...
