Restore and Reset with Christ
It has been a long time since I last wrote anything here. As we embark on another year, perhaps this is a good time to think about restoring, renewing and resetting our faith journey. It is interesting that during a trip I took to Rome in the summer, after visiting 20+ churches in the city,…
