OM :: The Tradition Shift
I remember when I was a young kid that I always had mixed feelings about Good Friday. My brother and I usually had a half day of school and then we would come home to a dramatic reading of the Good Friday/Easter story by my mother from the Children’s Bible. It seemed to always be…… Continue Reading
