     | 4,038 views

    How can we call Jesus the "good shepherd" when there is so much tragedy? From the Sunday after the Columbine shootings. Deals with the problem of evil.

There were people who cared more for themselves than the sheep and were less than considerate-perhaps even brutal at ...read more

A day when America, seemingly secure in the fact that no foreign enemy had attacked us on American soil since the War of 1812, when the White House was partially burned by the British. But as much of America was waking ...read more
