That may not have been the exact word that the prophet Ananias spoke, but it does convey his incredulity at the Lord’s instruction.
There is none better to do mission work, to share the gospel of the Savior with Read More
What comes to mind with the word
Boston?
Before the horrific event that occurred two months ago, a person may well have associated that city’s name with the Tea Party or the marathon or even the music group popular in the 70s and 80s.

By the time candidates for public office have thrown their names into the ring, they have already thought things through long and hard. They know from previous election cycles just what to expect on the campaign trail, especially when running for the presidency.
