  • The Gift of Pondering

    Ok, so it’s been way too long since we have posted. Maybe we (I) haven’t been doing what our blog name implies, pondering faith. Got too busy, too distracted, to take time to ponder. Today is a good day to begin again. It’s so good that God doesn’t condemn when we take those ‘sabbaticals’ . …
