By the Will of the Water and the Tenderness of the Towel

We would like to share with you this song that we used in our morning prayer.  It speaks to us deeply of all this day calls us to.   It is called The Basin and the Towel, by Michael Card.  Enjoy and have a blessed Holy Thursday!

Many of us no...
