My Wife Has Tattoos – “Today is the day of my wedding. And I am not marrying the girl of my dreams.

Jesus, You Are Enough – There is an interesting challenge in this article.

PCRT Conference – The PCRT Conference begins today. You can get information at the link and watch the livestream here.

    I regret to inform you, dear reader, that heaven tourism is back. The genre possibly never went away entirely, but it did at least disappear from the bestseller lists for several years. Sadly, it has returned in Gabe Poirot’s 18 Days in Heaven.
