Have you ever been on a tour? I don’t know about you, but I enjoy touring historic sites and ancient wonders.

In a hazy brain fog, Peter did as he was ordered. As the pair passed the comatose guards, the normally rackety iron gates swung open noiselessly. On the street, the angel...

If ever we needed to trust in God, it is now. We are living in a very solemn time. Things have changed so drastically in our world. Things have turned upside down with the reality of the COVID-19 crisis. So many deaths. What are we to do? How are we to cope?

I don’t know about you, but the hardest part for me when I went plant-based was saying “goodbye” to cheese. With this simple cheese that shreds, slices, and melts, I can enjoy my favorite dishes again!

As I was praying, I watched the steering wheel spin left to right as my car was navigated through the pile of cars that had already crashed into each other on the ramp. After I made it down the icy ramp and all those cars that had crashed into each other, I grabbed the...
