Dust In The Wind

Heart of God

Take Up Your Cross And Follow Me
Often CBIB is asked, "So what do you do?" Like Simon, in the scriptures, he was asked to come carry the cross. We are likewise asked to carry the cross of grieving parents. We have parents who come to us crippled from the task of such a grievous cross, to bury their...
