Am vrut să intru la voi și m-ați primit
Și am cinat împreună și v-am spus de dragostea Tatălui, despre speranța și vindecare. Iertarea e grea pentru cine are așa de mult de iertat. Un tânăr de aceeași vârstă cu Izidor a întrebat ce sa facă daca nu își poate ierta părinții ca l-au abandonat. A crescut in orfelinat pana la 22 ani când…

Honest look at my schedule

I have worked on this topic for a long time. I’m re-polishing a talk fit a certain context. At some point I had two different directions, both valid and powerful. But my heart is on simplifying it. Too much information crowds the heart.
