In chapter four Stuart runs into an Orthodox church on the corner of Red Square in Moscow, Russia called Our Lady of Kazan. As he walks in there is a service going on and priest…

In Medieval times, holy days, saints and feast days were marked on the calendar in Red. This originated from early illuminated manuscripts marking capital letters and highlighted words in Red ink.  Since this blog is titled, “Red Letters – Living the Words of Jesus,” we are going to celebrate Red Letter Days throughout the week…

Every day I am finding–or someone is sending me–another horrific story about sex trafficking here in the U.S. and around the world. Here’s a snippet from a recent article: “In late April, a prostitution sting in South Austin found an undocumented 16-year-old girl was being advertised and sold for sex online.” [Full Story] What can…
