The things daddys do and love, for their children. My drolling thoughts after an afternoon roll in the snow with my two oldest boys.

Hundreds of prophecies in the Old Testament foretelling and showing Jesus Christ. They said who he would be, what he would do and even where and to whom he would be born. Most missed it.
