Jesus and Failure and Betrayal

At my church we've been going through the book of Mark, and in the past few weeks we've been coming closer and closer to the cross. Jesus has just had His last meal with His disciples (which was something very important to both them and Jesus, even though the...

A Bit on Biblical Context and My Opinions and Choices

Why Them?

I've had this blog idea on my mind for weeks now, and the subject has been on my mind longer than that. I haven't been sure how to write this. I may not answer the question in the title, but I do have something important to say. Sometimes we meet the best people in...
