Everyday Spirituality

I was cleaning out my files and came across this article I wrote in 2009… it happened…I don’t mind the rain now! …… Lying on the sofa, I could hear the gentle pitter-patter of rain drops on the roof of our house. The rainfall, naturally quenching the thirsty desert land on which we lived, was…
