I have to say it was a very fruitful practice but I also have to say that I'm glad we losers have Christ to turn to, because the abyss is so enormous and I teeter so close to its edge so often. <br /><br />Happy Octave of Easter, Pentimento.Karen Edmisten https://www.blogger.com/profile/04446214835142625161noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5554498168264477884.post-47967451965573704362011-04-26T22:13:18.816-04:002011-04-26T22:13:18.816-04:00He is risen indeed!

A blessed Easter to you.Sally Thomashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05014351173194941624noreply@blogger.com
