Coming out, He went to the Mount of Olives, as He was accustomed, and His disciples also followed Him.  When He came to the place, He said to them, "Pray that you may not enter into temptation."  And He was withdrawn from them about a stones throw, and He knelt down and prayed,  saying, "Father, if it is Your will, take this cup away from Me; ( Read more... )

Near the end of my sociology lecture, my professor ran off the platform and met one of the TAs to help a student whose medical condition drastically changed. We all had no idea what was going on, but many seemed to just continue on writing their notes. As soon as I saw the look of panic on my professor's face, I quickly pulled out my Bible and ( Read more... )

Guess who's a music major at Mason Gross!!!
