First Aid Kit by Melanie Geenen “The Ruach of Adonai Elohim is on me, because Adonai has anointed me to proclaim Good News to the poor. He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to those […]
On Pilgrimage by Karen Condit “Blessed are those whose strength is in you, whose hearts are set on pilgrimage” (Psalm 84:5, NIV). I am on pilgrimage. Not to Mecca, but a much harder journey. My pilgrimage heads through the land of writing. Some days land me in a […]
