When my great-nephew was five-and-a-half years old, I praised him for being exceptionally well-behaved at his grandmother’s wake at the funeral home. I told him how good he was, and how proud we were of him.

They also reflected the signs and traditions in the Old Testament, in which unbelievers were punished. READ MORE.
