    A great Easter message.

    We can only try to imagine the sorrow that gripped the hearts of the followers of Christ that weekend. Their Master had died. The miracle worker. The blind eye, deaf ear, lame limb healer. The Teacher of truth, the Prince of power, laid still in a cold, dark tomb. It shouldn’t have surprised them. ...read more

    The scars tell a story.

    What is the only man made thing in heaven? I believe it is the scars on the body of Jesus. What do those scars teach us? When one goes on vacation, they so often bring back a souvenir.
