I traveled to Egypt during the summer of 2024. It was a fantastic experience though not everything was wonderful. This episode mentions our overnight trip from Cairo to Luxor. The accommodations certainly kept the 5-stars hidden! But it was quite an experience. What made it enjoyable was that we did it as a group, together. I cannot imagine what it would have been like to do the trip by myself. Th...

Jesus speaks about the importance of following Him and His word closely through what some call an allegory, the vine and the branches.
