As Christianity spread, the Stations became localized in the church rather than Jerusalem. It became ...

Spring is upon us. I don’t know about you but I find excuses to be outside when the weather finally warms up after
the cold and dark of January and February. That pile of broken branches from the hurricane season, I think I should go clean it up. For those with dogs in our family, yes that scooping job you have been putting off for months suddenly gets your attention. ...
