    Joyously Amazed Disbelief describes the too-good-to-be-true experiences of God’s grace that are critical for us to recognize, because in recognizing them we are empowered to share the good news of Christ’s love with others: CLAIM AND PROCLAIM.

    Time is one of the great philosophical questions of all time – if I may make such a circular statement. Humankind has been in conniption fits since the dawn of time trying to discover its nature. What is time? How does it move? We know how to tell tim

    Jesus performs a beautiful miracle at church one day. We see it from the persepective of the Crippled woman, Christ, Critics, and the crowd.
