All jolly and cheerful just ready to have fun
At other times when I&#8217;m hurting I imagine I look red

It&#8217;s one thing to celebrate accomplishment.  It&#8217;s another (glorious) thing to celebrate hard-won accomplishment.  Tonite &#8212; attending &#8220;Freedom School Graduation&#8221; at CFBC &#8211; I watched and celebrated with about a hundred students (elementary-high school) basking in such glorious accomplishment.
I don&#8217;t know many stories from the lives of these specific students (though I teach Sunday school to [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The truth of Christianity is not like the universal truths of reason.  The cradle of Christian faith is a story rather than a system.  Though the Bible includes many literary genres, what holds it together is a narrative unity: the story of what God is doing in the world through Israel, through Jesus Christ, through [...]]]></description>
