"Into the Promised Land": Ruth and Boaz
I loved watching World War II movies as a kid. A Bridge Too Far, The Longest Day, The Great Escape, The Dirty Dozen, Patton, Tora! Tora! Tora!, and Midway were among my favorites. But there always seemed to be a part of these movies I didn’t care for that much, and that part always seemed to come early on....

"Into the Promised Land": Jesus' Crucifixion and Resurrection (EASTER)
What do you fear? Come on, be honest. We all have them. So what is it? For me, the list begins with something happening to my family. That is my greatest fear, far and away. But I have many other fears beyond that. Heights, for example. God created gravity for a reason and we should respect it! Snakes aren’t...
