Of Lists and Understanding

According to John: No One Has Ascended into Heaven
Byhenry February 5, 2015
I should have posted this earlier. I’ll use as an excuse that our son is visiting us from Arizona. He’s probably not really to blame, but we are very delighted to have him here. Some distractions are a definite gift from God! You can find out more information from my Google+ Event, or watch the…
