     | 5,357 views

    The disciples were disillusioned and disoriented after the crucifixion.

    I grew up in a family with four sisters and no brothers. There were a lot of downsides to this…which I won’t go into now. One upside, and maybe the only one, is that I had to have my own bedroom in the basement, along with my own bathroom. I loved to just go in my room and shut myself out from all ...read more
