No one ever takes my side.
Time is on the side of truth.
I'm a proper mummy's boy.
Stop Relying on That Body!
I'm not a mushy person at all.
I'm just a laid-back person.
Nothing scares me but God.
I'm interested in astrology and astronomy.
We all enjoyed the success of Rumours obviously.
Success is fickle, but creativity is a gift.
Yet, when these facts are seen side by side with other facts in the case, it is difficult not to become lost in superstitious awe. Their very absurdity seems to prohibit the use of the words 'chance' and 'coincidence.' For the sceptic there remains o...
Once, for Paul, as for his contemporaries, Israel’s election and the demand of the law stood side by side in unresolved tension. Now he found their resolution, not in some synthesis or new idea, but in an event: the incarnation, crucifixion and res...
The attention given to the side of the head which has received the injury, in connection with a specific reference to the side of the body nervously affected, is in itself evidence that in this case the ancient surgeon was already beginning observati...
