Good morning... "I am loved, I am loved by You," this chorus rises up repeatedly within me. Now it's your turn to check out the music video below, which depicts for me the kingdom of heaven on earth.

Good morning... Last week a church friend for over twenty-five years sent me the following article. At first reading, I loved it. Over time, I began to wrestled with it.
