When Good Friday Becomes The Best Friday

Good Friday leaves me experiencing a weird paradox of feelings.   We call it "good" because Jesus was crucified, and while we may know the rest of the story...to Jesus's disciples and His mother Mary, who had no idea what was about to happen...it would have been a...

The Question

I read a funny question on Facebook that said, "We need to come together on this; Did the coronavirus kill the Easter bunny or did Carole Baskin?" Oh my word, what a time we are living in!  But, this weekend, let's get serious about the real debate that many of us...
