The Lesson Of The Wine

Contributed by Christopher Roberts on Oct 29, 2003

I love weddings. I have only had the occasion to perform two weddings and those were both great and special occasions for me. I had so much fun. And weddings are supposed to be fun. I think we should take a lesson from 1st century Judaism on how to party. The usual festivities consisted of a ...read more

Caricature Or Reality (Pt 1) Series

Contributed by John Telgren on Jan 8, 2006

Contributed by Gregory Mc Donald on Sep 5, 2011
