What is one of the lessons I've learned from life in cross-cultural service? I must listen and learn before I can speak and teach.

The writer of Hebrews reveals that just as blood must be shed for the old covenant, the New Covenant in Christ required blood--his own. Unlike that of the first, this sacrifice was a one-and-done for all!

Words behind initials make a difference. I choose today to replace those of DEI to RJE--Righteousness, Justice, and Equity. These words come straight from the book of wisdom and thus from God.
