you know you will have to go to sleep. As you look towards your window, you see the raindrops hit the window pane; The sun is dying off.

James found out one was from Abe and got angry, so he challenged him to a duel (Hull pg. 33). Abe and Mary got married at the Edwardses’ Parlor on November 4, 1842…

gave Judas the freedom to betray Jesus, his own son. Freedom is given to everyone and Judas’ freedom resulted in the death of God’s only son. Judas was an apostle of Jesus, his disciple, his follower. Yet, he chose to betray him for a measly 30 silver coins. Additionally, the Jews were given the choice to have Jesus executed or set free. “39 But you have a custom that I should release one man for you at the Passover.

Marwan in 686-689, may be seen as a calculated gesture to deprive Christians of the valuable metals, despite being supplemented by religious actions of attaching Qur’anic inscription on…
