“Let your speech always be with grace…” (Colossians 4:6)

The Mercy Thorn

Image by Simon Mettler from Pixabay

“What is this, Eve?” Adam pointed at his feet where a strange plant grew. He was sure he’d never seen it before. It had spiny branches, small purple flowers, and thorns longer than Adam’s little finger.

Breaking News!

Image by Alexas_Fotos from Pixabay

Sorry about the shameless blog title…I’ve wanted to use it ever since, oh, about the end of January 2020.
