Had a great conversation on here approaching the weekend, now the conversation is erased, and the account I was engaged with gone. Thus is the impermanence of all things!

What I love about Jesus is how many of his miracles are ways of overcoming embarrassing problems with mass catering. So Jewish.

A fascinating, accessible, and illuminating read. Nesse gives crystal clear explanations and leverages them with emotive personal stories.
