This a very interesting article that addresses several issues that face our church today but I am drawn to it not for the issues as much as for the image of God that it conjers up. Please let me know your thoughts. http://www.nytimes.com/2011/01/27/opinion/27kristof.html
Wife, mother, blogger, Catholic ministry. I love to garden even when it goes wrong. Same with writing (and we know it can go wrong.) Believing that God is present in all of it.
