About This Blog

Ocotillo is a desert shrub found in the southwestern United States. It is also called "Jacob's Staff," which means something.

A pub is a place to be with friends and share a drink and life together. It is also called a "public house," which also means something.

One of my writings on this blog, titled "Friending," refers to an imaginary place called "The Ocotillo Pub" where Jesus and his friends hang out, share war stories, and heal each other and strangers from their wounds. I suppose that means something, too.
