#179 Same-Same

On May 29, 2022May 28, 2022 By AlisonIn 2022, Australia, Christian Living, God's Character, SchoolLeave a comment

Who'd have thought marking national literacy tests would continue to hold allegorical links to the Christian life? Well, not me. That's for sure. Maybe it's because I read a Psalm before I started marking yesterday. Maybe it's because I've been reading Psalms all year. But when I pulled up yet another response that chose to …
