    Sometimes life makes us feel like we're getting pummeled. We're get pounded with left hooks and uppercuts and we don't have a chance to cover up and defend ourselves. Is this an appropriate analogy of how some of your days go? What can we do when life hurts?

Whether we are sons of God on our way to an eternity with our Father, or whether we are sons of Adam ...read more
