Welcome To THE NUGGET The Editor September 5, 2020 I had just finished editing a paper for my younger son. It had started out as a 12 page paper; but by the end, it was down to only 10....

Of course, I could have asked my friend for the translation, bu ...Continue Reading

Welcome To THE NUGGET What IS Prayer, Anyway? August 25, 2020 What is prayer, anyway? Critics say it is a crutch. It is something the Christians do to make them feel better, because it is just that: Something they can actually do in a situation where they are helpless!
