A reflection on Ez's post
I loved what Ez wrote in her post the other day. The Jars of Clay lyrics, of a song that I find so much relevance in, and then the "coats and hats" quote. the imagery of the coats and hats is so very true to form. and i for one am guilty of living in "coats and hats ( Read more... ) -
