By: Missionary and martyr Bill McChesney I want my breakfast served at eight With ham and eggs upon the plate. A well-broiled steak I’ll eat it on And dine again when day is done.

Complete

By: Gabriela Yareliz It was a bright morning, and Mary Magdalene walked to the sepulcher, in a hurry, with a heavy heart to find the tomb where they had laid Jesus.
