Welcome To The Dance

By on Thursday, March 14th, 2013 | 1 Comment

The Fathers of the church spoke of the perichorietic nature of the Trinity.

Joy is the most important of Christian emotion.  Duty calls only when gratitude fails to pompt. ( Another way of saying this might be:  “Legalism will have reign over […]
