friday – good and black

April 3, 2015April 11, 2020 Ellen Lebsock

He was oppressed, and he was afflicted, yet he opened not his mouth; like a lamb that is led to the slaughter, and like a sheep that before its shearers is dumb, so he opened not his mouth.

the Christmas question

December 2, 2014April 11, 2020 Ellen Lebsock
