The first Demon told the Devil that he planned to tell everyone that there is no God. The Devil responded by saying, well that’s good and you will

                    A football game was being played in Badger Stadium in 1982 in Madison Wisconsin with more than 60,000 fans in attendance.  The home team was losing.  But out of the blue during time outs, when play was a stop the fans would jump up and roar with excitement.  Why?  Finally the players and coaches

The work of Japanese painter Hokusai spanned many years before his death in 1849 at age 89. But toward the end of his life, the artist dismissed as nothing all the work he had done before age 50. It was only after he reached 70 that he felt he was turning out

                    Ever hear this phrase? There is some truth there. In this perspective, religion is seen as something negative and even detrimental at times to one’s spiritual walk. Common conceptions here might include the idea that I really don’t need a religion or a church or a faith community as long as I still
