Heart Health: Whole and Complete

Heart Health: Whole and Complete For as long as I can remember, if I doodled anything on paper as a kid, it was always a broken heart with a bandaid.  I’m not sure if this was because I can’t draw, and hearts are easy, or if there was something deep in me that realized I […]

King of kings and Lord of lords

Then one of the elders [of the heavenly Sanhedrin] said to me, Stop weeping! See, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root (Source) of David, has won (has overcome and conquered)! He can open the scroll and break its seven seals! [Gen. 49:9, 10; Isa. 11:1, 10; Rev. 22:16.] And there between the […]
