Bloody Mary Bible Brunch

Jim & Abby talk about the Bible & the refugee crisis.  In so doing, they start but do not end with Leviticus 19:34, "You shall treat the stranger who sojourns with you as the native among you, and you shall love him as yourself, for you were strangers in the land of Egypt: I am the Lord your God."  

Abby & Jim talk about one of the most interesting pieces of literature in the Bible, the book of Job.  Features, "When I asked why there were only one set of footprints, Jesus replied, 'Because the sandpeople walk in single file to hide their numbers.'"  You can also check out some of Jim's blogging on this here.
