He thought to himself, ‘What should I do, since I don’t have anywhere to store my crops? I will do this,’ he said. ‘I’ll tear down my barns and build […]
It is very liberating to reach a place of faith and trust in which we become able to say to the One Who exhaled a few words once and breathed the stars: “Dearest Lover of my soul, I commit myself and my property and my future and my relationships to You: for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in […]
