What did the twelve disciples who Jesus called have in common? Mostly they had faith in common. There were two sets of brothers – Peter and Andrew then James and John. That could not have been easy. How do you get along with your siblings? Did they look alike and sound alike? Did they argue?…

Of all the qualities God gave water my fav is reflection so we can see the beauty twice. I once had an entire exam in Physical Chemistry with one final essay question.
