This is a story of a missionary family; a mother, father, two girls and four boys. Looking at them, they seemed like a normal American family but this was far from true. On Christmas Day in 1964, this small family took a leap of faith and stepped out into an adventure not many would experience. They moved from the fine comforts of the American way of life into a different world where languages were different, food was different, and religious beliefs were extraordinarily different.

As you look closely at people around you, you will slowly begin to see people in a different light. That glow that you may notice in others will soon be understood to be that divine spark that has the potential to become a light to the world. You will notice the beauty that shines on ones face, a beauty that only comes from the heart and from that divine spark within each of us. It is this light that will someday bring change to the world; this is the heart of the Kingdom of God. "You see, the kingdom of God is within you." Luke 17:21

The book of Hebrews is a letter of encouragement to Jewish Christians during trying times. The author is unknown and the audience is also unknown, most likely Jewish Christians in Jerusalem.

Mankind, clearly seeing the delineation between himself and the animals around him saw their selves as having dominion over animals and as superior to all other life.

Although they were superior in almost every way, they also were filled with fear, anxiety and frustration in their everyday lives. Something higher than them was clearly imagined by many of them and the idea that the attributes of this higher power differentiated them from other life started to take hold. It seemed...

Much of modern quantum theory assumes that the rules of physics in this material physical world that we live in are not the same rules of physics in the quantum world. In this physical world, energy is an attribute of an object with mass; in the quantum world, it is taught that energy can exist without mass. In this physical world, an object cannot exist in two places at once; in the quantum world it can, popping in and out of existence. This research hypothesizes counter to these theories in that energy cannot exist without mass much like velocity cannot exist without the bullet or speed...

Humans have believed in a higher power for a very long time, long before written history began, and have tried to reach out and call out to this power both in thanksgiving and praise as well as in their times of need with cries for help. During times of trouble, these cries have come from every corner of the globe for as long as man can remember, pleas asking this God or the gods for reprieve and relief from the agony and pain that this world burdens them with.
