When the Rubber Meets the Road

rubber meets road

Today I’m guest posting over at Kathleen Basi’s place as part of her great new book’s blog tour. She asked me to reflect on the “rubber meets the road” commandments, the 4th-10th, and how they tie in with the Beatitude, “Blessed are the merciful, for they will be shown mercy.” So often, I love the thinking, [...]
