The Real Miracle

In Texas last week, an 18 year old man was arrested for wearing a noose in public. As Jewelry.

Several years ago, I began to reflect on the happenings at Gethsemane. It started when I saw some movie in which an actor did an okay job of portraying Jesus, except that he failed abysmally in his attempt to show what I think Jesus' agony at Gethsemane must have been really like. I realized that
