Our children can come out with some of the most alarming, humiliating, or shocking things, all done ...read more

    Learn why the peace of God can be so easily received.

    Happy Easter everyone! I came across an imagined conversation between two Roman soldiers guarding Jesus’ tomb on that first Easter morning. Each had his cup of coffee in hand.
