A Fractured Fairy Tale

We are nearly there, nearly at Jesus Triumphal Entry into Jerusalem, nearly seated at the Last Supper, nearly gathered in prayer at the Garden of Gethsemane.

Christian Cleverness Series

Chase of the Supreme Court, who would preside over the trial. The President himself was not there. He ...read more
