That nation was the Philistine nation. (Interestingly, the word Philistine is where we get our word “Palestinian,” so this ...read more

    Sometimes we can be left in hard circumstances so long we start believing that a momentary realization that we are indeed alive is only a sadistic pause until the next car breakdown, pipe breaking, kid-sickness, roof leaking, job layoff or unexpected bill
