Shedding Antlers In the Cold Season

Fatherhood: Joseph, Jesus’ Father
It is strange that in all this time Joseph, Jesus’ earthly father, was never promoted as the role model for men, or a champion of masculinity – although he seemed to have it all. What do I mean by having it all? Kindness, love, patience, wisdom, emotional intelligence, the gift of intuition, integrity, a greatContinue reading “Fatherhood: Joseph, Jesus’ Father”
