    Scripture tells us many things about the death of a Christian. Scripture does not gloss over the fact that death is a painful reality for us, nor does it tells us to pretend to be happy about the death of a loved one. We are expected to cry, have times of great sadness, mourn, and be at a loss when ...read more

I don’t know about you, but the first thing that jumps out at me is verse 8 – Place your finger there – and let’s look at it again…I see Peter, as he is writing this statement, saying it with….shock and awe. 8 ...read more

    The other day I watched some video of the 2004 World Series (won by my Boston Red Sox).
