Stir fried monkey and Bon Jovi hair, huh? Pretty wild! Really, thanks as always for sharing some of your past with us.
ReplyDeleteI love the idea of God inviting everyone to his table. As in your readings when the servant was sent out to ask those that usually would never be asked - the outcast and the infirmed - wow, what a love he has for us! All one has to do is accept the invitation and show up, because certainly God does.
I hope y'all have an excellent turnout for Alpha. Thanks. TA
