15June2009 Genesis 24:20
20 So she quickly emptied her jar into the trough, ran back to the well to draw more water, and drew enough for all his camels. There is nothing extra ordinary about this story. This young girl sees the stranger, he asks for water, she gives him water and provides for his camels. And yetContinue reading “15June2009 Genesis 24:20”

He said to them, “Then give to Caesar what is Caesar’s, and to God what is God’s.” In this day of corporate buyouts and off-shore investments, I began to think about the many ways people avoid their financial responsibilities.
