When I think of the symbolic Biblical definition of "cup," I think of the phrases "Your lot in life" or "The hand you are delt." But these do not quite fit the bill. Those two phrases address a situation that spans a person's entire life. Yet, sometimes our "cup" can be a temporary situation. Our … Continue reading Your Cup

The last statistics I saw before going to bed last night were one hundred-plus dead and one thousand-plus missing. Helene is a storm that will go down in history.
