To any reader, I wish you to know that Jesus did rise from the dead! He did it because he was God incarnate, and he did it that he might save you from your sins. This trial was a work of fiction. What was not fictional, however, is the fact that Jesus rose from the dead and that the Jewish Sanhedrin went to a great deal of trouble, as fictionalized here, to keep the knowledge of Jesus's resurrection from the world. If Jesus did not rise, Jesus was...

We were laughing and joking around when one of the girls mentioned something about "happily ever after." I made the comment that happily ever after was for everyone. One by one each of the girls concluded...

What is a Grook? Many have tried to define what a grook essentially is. Most grooks say what many of us think, but they put pertinent new perspectives on everyday observations, presenting the reader with small instructions in the art of living. A grook, (or 'gruk' in the Danish language) is a short aphoristic poem. Grooks were initially created by the Danish poet Piet Hein (1905–1996), who wrote over 10,000 of them in Danish and English.
