Holy Week…
If anyone knows me, they know that I believe that this time ought not only be about remembering Jesus on the cross, but the cross of Jesus ought to be shaping how we live our lives too. Our lives now ought be continually marked by love, sacrifice, submission, and service to God and others!

Not Different but Faithful
