A week and a half ago my Grandaddy died in the nursing home after a difficult night preceded by a few difficult couple of days. What that means exactly, no one has shared, but my grief has been a bit of a weird one. People come up to me and make a sad face, say... Continue Reading →
On this day two-thousand years ago our Lord and savior was abandoned by His disciples, and betrayed into the hands of the religious and political elite to be falsely accused, mocked, beaten, tortured, and then murdered.
