Tell of God’s Kindnesses

So it’s the first of January, the first day of another new year. I wonder how you’re feeling about that. For many of us, I suspect, there’s a bit of trepidation going into another new year. The last couple of years might have left us feeling a bit anxious about what the new year might […]

Heroes of Faith – Joseph

Occasionally on my day off in the summer I enjoy watching the coverage of the cycling grand tours, the Tour de France, the Giro d’Italia, or the Vuelta Espana.
