What happened a year ago today

July 20, 2023July 18, 2023 by Bronwyn Windsor

It’s a cliché: ‘It began as an ordinary day’. But it did. And it opened a window into the ordinary extraordinariness of God’s providence. 7:57am – my husband is going for a run. He’s a very routine-type person so it’s his usual practice, but it’s…
