Networked..?
Have you ever taken a moment to read through your insurance policy to establish what is and isn’t covered?

Isaac’s Ram in the Thicket
Genesis 22 tells of the account of Abraham journeying with his son and a few servants to the mountain where the Lord had instructed him to go – and sacrifice Isaac.
