For Me Many, many years ago, way back in history, My Savior walked upon this earth; each day He thought of me. When He was only twelve years old in Jerusalem He stayed behind, In the temple He questioned wise men but I was on His mind. Baptized in the Jordan, the Man of Galilee,… [Read More]
Calvary
Quietude – March 30-31, 2019
