She sat up shaking violently on the floor speaking of a great battle that is to come, pointing to each student in the room and ”prophetically” explaining their role. Some were meant to be dressed in armor with shields and swords and others were meant to sound the trumpet’s call, while still others are merely [...]

Why Jesus? There are many things out there that I could buy into, why Jesus?
Because he is love.
Both in love with me, and inspires me to love others.
