Ah, the Super Bowl! It’s less about the actual 60 minutes of playing time and more about the hype leading up to the game! (Or, so it would seem.) In the days between the conference championship games and the actual Super Bowl, you would think that Jesus was coming again, as much hype as they throw at you. And, then, when the…

Here are some questions to which we do not have answers: How old was Hannah when she gave birth to Samuel? How often had Hannah prayed to have a son? How often, in the “year by year” that she went to the house of the Lord, did she beg the Lord for a son? Was it possible that Hannah was soon going…

If the President called and asked for your help with something, would you jump at the chance to help? If Steven Spielberg offered you a leading role, would you jump at it? If Tim Cook at Apple wanted you to test the performance of a new product, would you take him up on it? Guess what? There’s something far better than all…
