You will soon become familiar with Tirhakah. He was a mighty Egyptian pharaoh – a historic King of the South embroiled in incessant war with a historic King of the North.

No doubt you've heard the hype surrounding the recent movie, 2012, and perhaps have seen its graphic trailers. An underlying theme was...
You've undoubtedly heard the adage: "We're all creatures of habit." What about you? Are you experiencing joy from positive, quality, healthy habits that bring happiness to your life? Or, are you trapped by vicious negative habits and destructive behaviors that rob you of a joy-filled life? Do you want to change? There is hope! God has given you free moral agency...
You may have seen the news – a new satire about God being developed by the Comedy Central channel. It's a cartoon called "JC", short for Jesus Christ. A recent Washington Post article of May 6 reports that this new cartoon show is "about Christ trying to get out from the shadow of his 'powerful but apathetic father' so He can lead a typical New York life" ("...

During these special visits, my grandmother would feed me a delicious meal as we talked sitting at her dining room table.
