Through the Storm

March 23, 2018 by w.sordillo

Refugees

March 9, 2018 by w.sordillo

“Make up your mind,” Moab says. “Render a decision. Make your shadow like night— at high noon. Hide the fugitives, do not betray the refugees. Isaiah 16:3 Most of us came to this country from somewhere else, whether in search of a better life or against our will. In a sense, most of us are […]
