Our Lady's House at Ephesus
We know little or nothing about the apostles' family connections. We are not privy to God's reasons for doing anything.
St John, after the Assumption, just carried on with his work as an apostle. He is associated with Asia Minor, modern ...

Is there that kind of a reaction -- in essence to being told no by ...

Our Lady's House at Ephesus
The name Ephesus always appeals to me. Perhaps it goes back to growing up -- ;-D -- with Our Lady Mary, Joseph of the Good Death and Jesus Christ.
At some point, I started wondering why the name so appeals to me and, from there, why the place ...

Our Lady's House at Ephesus
At seminary we were taught that there are two acceptable theories of the assumption. One is that Mary never died but went to heaven directly,but the other equally acceptable one is that her path matched Jesus journey, in which she passed through ...

I have checked the doctrine and see the wording does not address dying, rather assumed body and soul.

Our Lady's House at Ephesus
The phrase "died in Jerusalem" is contradictory to the belief that she did not die, since she had no sin. The Assumption of Mary is taken as she was taken into Heaven without dying. I realize this would not have been accepted in the distant ...

Sadly, you are correct about the limited capacity for woodland in this overcrowded isle.But both islands need trees. However, the west of Ireland,which is covered with blanket bog in some places, especially County Mayo and parts of Galway and ...

Thinking About Painting Your Walls Pink?
Might pink interiors need to be hinted at by pink exteriors?
On the other hand, people paint their house innards perhaps more than their house outsides. Repainting often puts into effect different color schemes than the original or the ...

The islands of the British Isle probably are not big enough to support extensive forests and woodlands, correct?
But which island would have the most forested, woodlanded cover? And if so, would that have been a longstanding trend or a recent ...

Frances Brundage, an artist of picture books and postcards
Rembrandt seems like such a strong choice for a child.
Was it a style in the 19th century to name offspring after famous people instead of cherished close friends or family members? Or would that name suggest a collateral descent from the Dutch ...
