Re: Are there a CURE for INSOMNIA apart from prayer?

well, that part of holy reading always gets me right fired up. I just love reading all those biblical names! in fact, most of my cats names come from those passages.

Re: Are there a CURE for INSOMNIA apart from prayer?

For a Pastor, who is required to know these thing, this is a fascinating area of study; for a young woman like yourself, it is non-salvific and therefore simple, Holy Reading, which you will find most restful.

I´m sorry Pastor but there´s something I don´t understand...

How come is this Jesus genealogy if He wasn´t really Joseph´s son, I mean, what´s the importance in that since we all know He was God´s son?

Just asking...
