https://amcarpenter.com/why-blueprints
Built together as a place for God to dwell. Letters to the Church. Isn’t the first post of any blog supposed to tell the reader that the blogger has “finally” gotten around to blogging and promises to keep up with regular posts, unlike a host of other people who stop after 3 posts (the third coming about 9 months after the first)? And isn’t that first post supposed to give a modest-yet-ambitious forecast of posts to come? Well, scrap that! So, why “Blueprints? Leave a Reply Cancel reply. Address never ma...
