The American Christian’s Reckoning
NOTE: The premise of this post began stirring in me more than 5 years ago. I have written several variations in my head, on paper and in blog drafts. To write it all out would take days. It has been condensed here for easier reading. * When I had my “Jesus moment”, I was a…
