Get Your Motivations in Order
Hi, Jill Elizabeth Nelson again, your first Tuesday of the month blogger. And no, this isn’t a blog about searching your soul.

Jesus’ Tomb Found?
I don’t know if you’ve heard the controversial news on the alleged discovery of Jesus’ lost tomb, but before you get swept away with the hype it’s a good idea to get all the facts. That is both sides of the story. I received this email earlier this week. Tonight “the Discovery Channel will be…
