Posted on September 30, 2020 by ehurst

Posted on August 14, 2020 by ehurst

Based on comments and questions I’ve gotten privately, I need to clarify a few things. I’ll try to paint a bigger perspective with less detail. Two things are getting everyone’s attention in the US right now: riots and the lock-downs. … Continue reading →

A Reason to Live and Die

Posted on July 5, 2020 by ehurst

Written on His Heart

The Hardest Message to Share

Posted on May 23, 2020 by ehurst

Redemption and Wrath

Posted on May 14, 2020 by ehurst
