a different perspective from alan hartung on the emerging church, politics, faith, and life
This is incredible. I can’t describe the shock that I have… Three teams had to lose and the Chiefs had to win. The three teams that had to lose were ALL playing at home. All of those teams lost, but it took two overtime games to accomplish it! I think some more hair grayed today [...]
