Miracles in the West

, ,
In an age of skeptics and unbelief, we can so easily put down as irrelevant the supernatural happenings that occur often unexpectedly. Jesus Christ was One who made miracles more common place - yet even reading about these in the Bible can even…

A Helping Hand

, ,
How we each need this ... especially at Christmas time when it seems that the world is buzzing with busyness. My 92 year old mother is in hospital mainly with mobility issues and when she tries to walk, she is in need of assistance on either…

The Unexpected
