Dear Disciple, “Be alert and of sober mind. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour.” 1 Peter 5:8 Today marks the 79th anniversary of “a date which will live in infamy”, the day Japan attacked the U.S. naval fleet at Pearl Harbor.

Dear Disciple, “When he had led them out to the vicinity of Bethany, he lifted up his hands and blessed them. While he was blessing them, he left them and was taken up into heaven.
