My friend Misti invited me to go to Bible study with her tonight. “What should I bring?”, I asked her. “Yourself, your Bible, and Crayola markers” was her reply. Strange list, huh? I mean, who even needs markers at a Bible study? She then explained to me that in the Bible study, you talk about
I’ve never seen a photograph of Jesus, but I would guess He looks nothing like Shrek. But tonight I realized that Jesus and Shrek have more in common than I thought. Follow me on this rabbit trail and I promise I will come back around. Fiona, our princess here, was trapped in a castle. Sure,
She has the best quotes. From last week- “My brain is a wild jungle full of scary jibberish.”I hear ya, sister.
