Now I have three children and no theories Kings can pass away; other kings can rise. Presidents can ...read more

    “Mrs. Zebedee,” the mother of James and John, gets a bad rap for her request to Jesus for places in the kingdom on the right and left hand of Jesus. Actually, there are some good qualities for mothers on Mother’s Day to emulate.
