Jesus and His Mother Mary
Yesterday, I spent the morning with the women of Spring Valley at Trinity Presbyterian Church. We focused on Jesus and His first sign in John 2 as He turned the water into wine. Isn’t it amazing that no matter how many times we read the same stories in the Bible, they speak differently each time …
