Week 2 in review What a week! It was filled with thankfulness, laughs, illness, running, self-examination, a (Lord willing) singular failure, and the wonder that is life in this world. Bible For my personal Bible study (in case you couldn’t tell) I was still in James. But, my wanderings through James lead me to survey …
