Can Bones Tell the Future?

We recently received a question from a caller on our Wacky Wednesday radio show who had received a small bag of bones from a recently deceased relative.

There's Nothing Sinister About Those Faceless Willow Tree Sculptures

DJV writes: "I received two Willow Tree Sculptures as gifts and am concerned that these may be New Age items. The description on the box of these sculptures reads "Willow Tree is an intimate line of figurative sculptures that speak in quiet ways to heal, comfort, protect,...May the simplicity of these figures communicate peace and serenity to you and those you love.

We remember the humble man chosen by God to fulfill two extraordinary life roles: husband to Mary, the Mother of God; and foster father to her Son, Jesus Christ.
