By: Shirley Ralston
Hello from PNG! I arrived safely after a grueling 30 hours of travel from Houston that took me through Dallas, Brisbane, Australia and then to Port Moresby in Papua New Guinea. Someone told me the Dallas to Brisbane route is the third longest operating in the world today. I believe it. Despite the length, my journey was pl [...]

Maunday Thursday
After Jesus partook of the Passover meal with his apostles, he took off his outer garment, wrapped a towel around his waist, and began to wash the feet of the men. In order to understand this event properly, one must remember the Near Eastern setting. In ancient times, a person walked from place to place in sandals. Throughout the course of a [...]
