    Jesus involved the people in the miracle of raising Lazarus from the dead by asking them to do 2 things: "remove the grave clothes" and "loose him and let him go". These words have practical application for us today.

It was a cave with a stone laid across the entrance. 39“Take away the stone,” he said. “But, Lord,” said Martha, the sister of the dead man, “by this time there is a bad odor, for he has been ...read more

While we knew that Grandma wasn’t in the best of health, and had some past health issues a little over 4 years ago, none of us thought that we’d be ...read more
