GRAMMATEUS

GRAMMATEUS My friends and I worked on a writing project throughout 2013. Here is the link to our work. On the home page, all publications can be downloaded in (.pdf) format. Enjoy!

I have this mantra I’ve started with God: “God, I can’t do this.” “I know you can’t, Omer. BUT I can.” “God, I can’t do this.” “I know you can’t, Omer. BUT I can.” “God, I can’t do this.” “I know you can’t, Omer. BUT I can.” I did it today. I’m sure I’ll doContinue reading “A Mantra / Prayer”
