The emphasis of this blog usually focuses on mission and the effects of the Good News on people's lives. A.S. Haley is a remarkable lawyer who has dipped deeply into mathematics and the astronomy of the skies about 2,000 years ago. A series of blogs written by Haley is worth noting with a bookmark. You'll want to read his careful analysis of the events and may want to use them in conversations with persons who say, "I don't believe that story about Jesus. - It can't possibly be true."
