Her boss's phone, too.” The article was about Peggielene Bartels, a secretary in the ...read more

    RAISED WITH CHRIST Over the last few weeks we've been looking at the events surrounding the crucifixion of Jesus. When Jesus announced to his disciples that he would be tortured and killed Peter was pretty upset. Even though Jesus said he would be raised to life Peter didn't want to see him go ...read more
