Eat Fear

Posted on November 10, 2014 by ehurst

Fear. It is easily the single presiding factor in human decision. Christian religion does not make fear a sin; that’s a cultural fable. Faith pulls fear in and drowns it, overwhelms it with love and commitment. Love and commitment are … Continue reading →

Making Room in the Heart

Posted on November 2, 2014 by ehurst

The Drama

Posted on October 31, 2014 by ehurst
