Thank you, Lana, for your honesty & your insights. After I read your sermon I recalled

a phrase shared by

Valarie Kaur in her book SEE NO STRANGER. In South Africa the word Ubuntu

is used to communicate oneness.

There is another culture (which I can’t

remember) that uses the phrase, “You are my other me.”

The step beyond seeing & being seen.

Love, Laura B. 🙏💕

Beautiful, Lana. Thought-provoking, informative, and I love your interpretation about Jesus and the Syrophoenician woman. I will be reading this sermon several more times. Thank you. xo
