John Kuhn Bleimaier The father of all lies has been with us from the beginning. John 8:44. He has been the bane of the human condition and perennially seeks to work us woe. Satan constantly appeals to humankind in different forms. At one point he is the bringer of light (lucifer) at another he is […]
Barbara Marquart Johnson “There she comes now. She looks tired. Must have had a rugged week.” The two of them had been waiting outside the church door to greet Barbara as she came out to go home. Since she has to use a white board to communicate, many people are reluctant to hold her up […]
