When through the deep waters
He was despised and rejected, a man of sorrows, and familiar with suffering… He was oppressed and afflicted, yet he did not open his mouth; he was led like a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before her shearers is silent, so he did not open his mouth… After the suffering of his […]
A Desolate Place
Early the next morning, Abraham took some food and a skin of water and gave them to Hagar. He set them on her shoulders and then sent her off with the boy. She went on her way and wandered in the desert of Beersheba. When the water in the skin was gone, she put the […]

As the Sun at Noon
John Donne He brought light out of darkness, not out of a lesser light, and he can bring thee summer out of winter, though thou hast no spring.
