Where is he? Where? Where is he? How many times had she asked that question over the past four days. Her only brother had come down with some mysterious virus and nobody could do anything for him. Well nobody except for their friend Jesus. How many times had he reached out his hand and the…
Vindicated
The dingo did eat the baby! Have you ever been vindicated? You know, after someone lied about you & in the end, it came out that you had been right all along.A month ago, an Australian Coroner ruled that at least one dingo was responsible for the death of baby Azaria Chamberlain in 1980. If…
I am the Life
