Here is a conversation between Jesus and a Father of a devil possessed boy. Jesus first wants to know how long he has been like this and hears that it came to him as a child.

A botanical garden and a cross in the cobble stones.
I want to start this post with six Bible verses in Revelation and then visit the Botanical Gardens in Oxford.
