A man standing at the corner, about 55-years-old wearing frayed dress pants, was bundled up with a bright red scarf that matched the color of his face (not uncommon, but to be expected in -10 degrees of this brutally cold and purely murderous…
If the story weren’t so ridiculous, I don’t think I would have believed it. I have been the skeptic, and maybe too often, the cynic. I see the holes. But this story? The one about a King born in a manure-caked stable? It was the absurdity of the story that I found most convincing. I’ve been a news journalist since…

God didn’t design you to live alone. He has a place where you can tell him how much you love him, learn more about him and meet with others like you! This video does a good job of explaining what it means to be a part of a Church family. Jesus not only lived, died and rose again, he also returned home to heaven. But before he left he gathered…
