Persia was known for its opulent and excessive wealth. The royal city of Susa was often host to endless banquets and celebrations. Many times the entertainment at these affairs was "R" rated. Vashti's refusal to take part in this debauchery…

Not only did Paul, Silas,…

Water, water everywhere and not a drop to drink! That little ditty ran through my head several times during the first full week of March 2011. Not only did we see record rainfall here in the Northeast, but an earthquake in Japan set off a tsunami which destroyed property and beaches in the Northwest. The rainfall coupled with melting snow caused rivers and creeks to overflow their banks and commuters to detour around the…
