You Can Do It Only If Christ Is Present!
Dear Friends, It’s wonderful to see how the Lord always looks for the apostles. On the Easter night he came through the doors that were locked and the week after he allowed Thomas to touch his wounds and today, we see him at the shore of the sea of Galilee. They don’t look for him,…
