Why “somewhat” difficult? Partly it’s about humility: Not everyone will agree about what qualifies a book as “difficult,” and occasionally we’ll read something that you don’t struggle with at all. But no matter what your opinion of, oh just for example let’s say Slaughterhouse Five, most people can agree that it at least requires more concentration, more analysis and more reflection than The Notebook (nothing against The Notebook if that’s your thing). Maybe Vonnegut -- or Great Expectations, o …

Besides the networking opportunites for business and work, you will also improve your health and fitness. Hikes will tend to be 4-6 miles during the weekdays before or after work with options for longer hikes for those wishing to do so. It sure beats …

"What DID Jesus Do?" was the simple question that started it all! Instead of speculating what Jesus WOULD do, we wanted to study deeper into the teachings of our Jewish Messiah in Jewish custom, context and traditions when he actually walked on the earth.

We have been learning the Holy Scripture as explained by teacher Tom Bradford of Seed of Abraham Ministries in Merritt Island, Flor …
