The afternoon of 0911, I heard a whisper as I sat watching the CNN news as the events of that fateful day unfolded. This whisper stated, “Arise, make yourselves ready, for behold, the Bridegroom comes”. Two weeks later it would be added to, becoming this admonishment, “Arise, make yourselves ready, trim your lamps, for behold,Read More…
