    Death comes first. "Unless a corn of wheat falls into the ground and dies, it abides alone. But, if it dies, it brings forth much fruit." (John 12:24) Let's begin with a very basic Universal Principle: “First comes Death,.. then comes Life!” I know, it sounds backwards. We ...read more

    Why? We know that while a gift can bring joy to some, it can also bring sadness to others. For example, men have come to realize there are some things you do not buy for your wife on her birthday or at Christmas. Men who have been married for a long period of time have learned some things. • ...read more
