On yet another occasion, Jesus explicitly told the Jews: "'I and the Father are one.' Again the Jews picked up stones to stone him, but Jesus said to them, 'I have shown you many great miracles from the Father. For which of these do you stone me?' 'We are not stonin...
The History of Lent Christians honor the 40 days and nights following Christ’s baptism when He went into the wilderness without water and food and was tempted by Satan. During that time, Christ did what we do today when we fast: wrestle with temptation. This was not the first fast; bibl...
I should note that Porky LeSwine generally follows the “judge not lest ye be judged” philosophy. But 30 pounds is a whole lot of weed. Perhaps the good folks at Smokey’s caught the spirit of theCampaign for Real Barbecueand were starting a neo-traditional alternative to wood-cooked BBQ...
