Mystery Blogger Award

I don’t know why I didn’t start to read the Bible sooner. I don’t know why I didn’t have the urge or feeling to read it. I don’t know what held me back from discovering so many amazing things, so much wisdom and so many insights to help one live in this world. I don’t …

Jesus Christ: High Priest in the Order of Melchizedek
