Becoming Artists Of Our Behaviour

If life is a grand canvas then all our decisions are the palette of decisions with which humans paint their life.  Will we do this in partnership with God and if "yes," then how? Fr. Allen looks at some arresting proverbs and a startling story from the life of Jesus to explore these central concerns.
