When Trials Are Won. And the Most Unlikely Witness Of All.

The room sweats with suffering.  And faces are mute with agitation.  Agitation of the worst kind.  The kind like when watching a scary movie.  And you can’t run.  Can’t scream.

Christian’s Gone Mute: An Internet Epidemic

Where are they?  I scan the internet for hours. Researching for a blog post…. But I do not find them. Squeaky Wheels only.  Sharing their opinions….while all the Christian’s have gone silent. MIA.  In other words….Missing In Action. Shuffling in my seat.  Discontent fills the room.  Each site that I click on.  Has radical views…. While […]
