Here’s what I’ve learned since then. The people who scan the heavens and pore over the Bible looking for the return of Jesus aren’t any more faithful, any more Christian, any more privy to the will of God, than the rest of us. Continue reading A Miraculous Intervention…
I guess I shouldn’t have been surprised by this Doomdayer with his stern look amongst all those smiling and laughing people that Saturday night in Times Square. I think he is the first one I have even seen in person. Continue reading Mosaic of Life #134 – Those Poor Doomsayers…
Every once in a while, I come across an article that jerks me in a different direction. This is one of those times.
