Faith and Doubt
John 10: 22:30 In the Gospel one would always read that Jesus emphasizes the importance of Faith: A centurion had a sick daughter and she was healed because of the faith of the centurion; A paralytic was sick and he was healed because of the faith of his friends; on the other hand, the apostles…

Of course, one of the most important objectives of table manners is to…
