It boggled my church kids to find out Jesus was 30 years old when He started His ministry, and 33 when He died. I asked them, “How old are you? If you started your ministry now, how much can you do?” A lot, they answered. I’m 32. It’ll be a more intense reflection next year, […]
Zombies in the Bible or the Part of Jesus’ Resurrection I Forgot About
My favorite stories in the Bible are the ones that include fantastical things like talking donkeys and teleportation. How could I have forgotten about the zombies?

Here’s my look back at March and why I’ve been so silent on the blog. Affiliate links are included below. I may make a commission from purchases made through these links, but […]
