    James Voss reads The Last of the Mohicans He said to them, “Come with me by yourselves to a quiet place and get some rest.” Mark 6:31 My team spent hours designing our experiment.

We are hard pressed on every side, but not crushed; perplexed, but not in despair; persecuted, but not abandoned; struck down, but not destroyed.   2 Corinthians 4: 1, 7-9 It's been a year.

If you missed it, you'll find it here: Haunted Not giving up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but encouraging one another—and all the more as you see the Day approaching.
