When he was told the news, he was in a state of shock. For a while, he couldn’t quite grasp what he had heard. It was one thing his father dying when he did. This, however, came as a surprise. There was nothing to prepare for this. Still reeling, his brother reminded him of a […]
Read More Safely Abide ForeverWhen they saw me, their view mattered so much. I used to feel hurt when they saw me as odd, weird and funny in the not ha-ha sense of it.

Read More His View MattersThe only way Jesus could go through it is if that which awaited Him at the end was greater than what He had to go through to get there.
