It is the story of a Captain in the Roman army who meets the mother of a political prisoner (Jesus of Nazareth) that he has just crucified.

The students take turns preaching, leading siging, and having special music (always accompanied by a violin). These are precious visits to the students because Christ is their master and their love for him overflows to those who have not yet heard of him as some of these folks have not. Their hearts go out to the elderly and when it is time to go, the parting is sometimes painful. 54 I think Adam will like this. laughter friendship play giving love I've got flap A inserted into slot B, now what? 56 Where, oh where, are you tonight? ay Latte An afternoon chat on Hammer's back porch.
