What Holds Us Together

Last updated on: February 15, 2008 at 6:17 pm By David Hayward

I’ve been thinking about what holds us together as a community. This has been on my mind because of the many people I hear from, almost daily, who are hungering for true community but can’t find it.

Jesus Suffering Among Precious Stones

Last updated on: February 9, 2008 at 4:42 pm By David Hayward

I had a dream last night. It wasn’t a moving dream, but just a snapshot. This was all I saw: Jesus, suffering, lying barely conscious in his own blood on stone. But the weird thing is that he is lying among precious stones. Bright jewels surround him. I have been reflecting on it all day, pondering its meaning. It is available for sale HERE Read more
