The video below is three minutes and eleven seconds of fresh perspective. The beauty of this story makes me smile first, tear up later and then dream new dreams… So I wonder… Are new dreams dawning on the horizon as I check off old ones?

Mary’s life story is defined by Jesus. His birth, His life and His death outline Mary’s life. Her appearance in the pages of Scripture is always linked to Him. His story is her story, and her life gives us an example of simple faith for a not-so-simple world. DOWNLOAD: Lesson 6 – Mary – Participant [...]
