EXPLORED: In honor of the season we're in, I thought I would post this shot. (I guess technically, this would be a better Easter photo, but it does remind us of the sacrifice Christ made for us). So let us celebrate His birth this Christmas.

1 John 2:18-19 "Children, it is the last hour; and just as you heard that antichrist is coming, even now many antichrists have arisen; from this we know that it is the last hour. They went out from us, but they were not really of us; for if they had been of us, they would have remained with us; but they went out, in order that it might be shown that they all are not of us."

Wes, if you feel this is out of line, please feel free to delete it.
@ObamaApocalypse---no one in here has mentioned Barack Obama or Hillary Clinton or any other political candidate, so why are you spouting off about them?

Kaycee.....I agree. This shot is about something much higher and greater than any political candidate.
