Reflections
Climbing Up to the Roof
I spent a little time on rooftops as a teenager, though I wasn’t preparing for any of those Matthew 10 moments where Jesus tells his disciples to proclaim God’s word from the rooftops. Back then, a good roof was best used for sneaking out of the house and finding more trouble.
