Jenny poses for pictures as a nomad walks towards us from a ways off. I flash back to the amazing scene in Lawrence of Arabia where Omar Sharif snipes Peter O’Toole’s guide for drinking from his well. I try to explain to her the power of the line, “My name is for my friends,...
On a daily quick trot around the village I note the quite magnificent blossom this year on the amandier (almond trees) with scent that flowed through the air for tens of metres. And it looks as though smaller plants such as the native iris are coming to the flowering party too – this ...
135. Kerry: Yeah, that was, that was pretty early on and it changed a lot. Oz has, the the, the eye contact was probably the most consistent thing of all of the first five episodes. Weiss walks through bushes. 136. Monty: Yeah, for her to look at one, look at another, that...
This name stuck, because with very few exceptions, he is known by the names “Peter,”“Cephas,” or “Simon Peter” from this point forward. It is said by many of the ancient writers that Mark’s gospel was written using the information given to him by Peter (with whom he was workin...
“The water has fallen 60 feet in the last year,” Junior’s son Steve told me. I believe this was the first time that Junior’s grandchildren had been on this level of the cathedral. All of us eventually turned toward the entrance and began to make our way back to our boats. But ...

I would rather we could uplift and uphold our people who serve in all walks of life (not only the armed forces) without needing additional symbols, but this one is there, and not a battle I need to fight. If you choose to remove a flag that is already part of the worship space, I...
* I have no man, when the water is troubled, to put me into the pool; but whilst I am coming, another goeth down before me. Jesus saith to him, Arise, take up thy couch, and walk. And immediately† the man became well, and took up his couch and walked. And on that day was...
