An Itinerant Preacher

Posted on February 9, 2017 by wisdomfromafather

I’m not sure what the formal criteria are for designation as an itinerant preacher. I know it infers traveling to different congregations, although traditionally it’s on a circuit. I’m not sure if I formally qualify, but this Sunday I will … Continue reading →

My Jesus

Posted on April 12, 2014 by wisdomfromafather

Beer with Jesus

Posted on October 13, 2012 by wisdomfromafather
