Bursting Through

When Christ was born over 2,000 years ago, He came bursting through the thin veil that separates Heaven and Earth.

Happy Fault

“My divorce was the best thing that ever happened to me!” exclaimed a joyful Sharon during a Recovering from Divorce session. That is an odd perspective and I asked her to explain it.

This is what happened with the apostles. Jesus told them to “give them something to eat” and they freaked out. […]
