DAY 34 Mark 6:24 And she went forth, and said unto her mother, What shall I ask? And she said, The head of John the Baptist. What do you want?Perhaps, that seems a bit too vague so let me rephrase it:'What do you want out of life?' This is one of the simplest questions we... Continue Reading →
DO YOU HAVE A GOOD NAME?
DAY 33 Mark 6:14b-15 Some people thought He was John the Baptist, who had come back to life with the power to work miracles. Others thought he was Elijah or some other prophet who had lived long ago.
