Here is a picture of my freind Louise hugging a baby. Now, don't be confused: Louise isn't God. I know that. She knows that and I'm guessing none of her friends hold Louise to be a deity. But Louise IS a vicar and she posted this photo challenging us to share one photo to show... Continue Reading →

Mutual understanding is par for the course for a good relationship and who doesn't want to have a good relationship with God?... Continue Reading →
