Wind and moisture have a huge impact on our body’s ability to regulate temperature. A...

From the writings of the Rev. Billy Graham The human soul transcends earthly value Q: Why is it that Christians say we have to believe their way or miss Heaven? Isn’t this a little narrow, maybe even arrogant? A: Christians do make up a religion—Christians believe God’s every word.

He survived the crash, but had blood on his forehead which attracted the sharks, and he...
