     | 3,750 views

Totally unprepared for the reality of it. I was well armed with a bevy of important and well-educated sounding ...read more

    James and John were naturally talented and dedicated to the Lord. Their mother, just like many mothers today, wanted the best for her children, and so a few days before Jesus’ entry into Jerusalem, she made a request in behalf of her children.
