    The Gauntlet Sayings intrigue me. I am often curious about where the saying came from and what it meant back then. Many have probably heard this saying, maybe you’ve used it or your parents. But I remember my friend’s parents often saying that "this world’s going to hell in ...read more

    "Why John Did Outrun Peter"

In context John records that he is, “The disciple whom Jesus loved.” When Peter was running to the tomb, no ...read more
