COMMENTARY: Cherokee Green
Ecotourism. Sounds like a truly scientific word with deep meaning. The premise of this philosophy isn’t rocket science. It is a merging of two words: ecology and tourism.
COMMENTARY: I heard an old, old story.
We all love our stories. From gossip around the kitchen table to multi-million-dollar production, storytelling is a global cultural phenomenon. It is the way we have passed on history, genealogy, medicine, explained science, and even prayed.
FAITH COMMENTARY: A close call, Part 3 of 3
Jesus faced death because He knew what death was all about. He knew exactly how he was going to die and what he would suffer. And like HIM, some of us no longer fear death as much as we fear just how we might die or how we might suffer.
