The craftsman who takes the time to sharpen his blade isn’t being lazy—he’s ensuring that he’s going to be more effective by taking the time to maintain his equipment. Rest is hay for the horse, or the whetstone for the blade.
Asked my ma did she wanna be part of a World Cup sweepstake but just for the last 16 and she said aye. I said we needed one more just and she said to put her neighbour down and that he supports Armagh.
Only an Armagh man would think they could win the World Cup 😂 #irishmammies

“Real community happens with people who know us too well, who, despite all they know and the ways we disappoint them, still see our dignity and keep believing that we are being transformed by love.”

The plot of Genesis 12-14 is the plot of Scripture in miniature:
• Abram is called
• Goes to Egypt with his family
• Plagues, exodus, gifts
• Re-enters land
• Divides territory
• Nation splits into two
• Battle, exile, captivity, return
• Priest-king comes
• Bread & wine
