    based on 4 ratings

And most of the time they are not naïve; they are trying to make us look foolish trying to answer ...read more

So please don't be disappointed that I don't explain this passage verse by verse :-)] Today is traditionally known as Trinity Sunday; and it has been said that Curates and newly appointed ...read more
