Be Not Afraid
Be Not Afraid You shall cross the barren desert, but you shall not die of thirst. You shall wander far in safety though you do not know the way. You shall speak your words in foreign lands and all will understand. You shall see the face of God and live. Be not afraid. I go…

Here There be Big Foot
A man living in Fairdale, KY was determined to stop whatever was causing damage to his corn rows. He got more than he bargained for though when he setup a hunting camera to capture movement in his backyard. What he captured was the image of a black hairy creature sitting in the field. I have…
