Abraham's Journey

Read More On Viruses and Covid-19By Charlie Johnston One of the things that this Corona Virus business has illuminated, but is rarely commented on, is that there are reasonable precautions we could have and should have been taking all along to defend vulnerable populations from the ravages of ordinary flu seasons. In the aftermath of all of this, I seriously […]
Read More Cry the Beloved CountryEcce Homo – Antonio Ciseri I repeat today my little story from the original Holy Week What follows is fiction. I used the literary device of an archaeological find, but it is fiction entirely from my meditation on the Crowning of Thorns.
