A Public Hanging

Written by Jim Staley. No Comments on A Public Hanging

Deuteronomy 21:22-23 There can be no doubt that a public hanging draws a crowd. In the old Wild West, the whole town came out to watch. There is just something about the shock and all about it all that causes us to turn our heads in that direction....

Female Captives

Written by Jim Staley. No Comments on Female Captives
