A Spare Pair

/0 Comments/in

 

Next Step #528 – July 19, 2018 – Stories inspire us on many levels. Some are true stories of individuals who share the gift of God with us all, others teach with metaphors. Fr. Dajad Davidian (1934-2018) is remembered for his ministry and inspiration. Thoughts from Walden Pond, Thoreau and Jethro Tull’s 1973 release of the “Hare Who Lost His Spectacles” are the food (savored this time around) for thought in this week’s edition of the Next Step.
