From Dark Chocolate to Jesus
Sometimes, I get desperate. Many things have gone wrong in the past several weeks. Perhaps it’s because I can’t get Auschwitz out of my head. It could be that work and emails have piled up to unthinkable proportions. Not really. It’s because I lost my focus on Jesus. I came home and ate a piece…

Closer than Close, a Review
