Sunday Reflection (July 10, 2022)
The book of Deuteronomy reminds us that God’s Word is not something so far removed that we cannot get a glimpse of it (Deuteronomy 30:9-14). I am not suggesting we grasp God’s Word in its totality, but enough of God’s Word to lead us in following divine paths. God’s Word is close to us, yet […]
