However‚ this purely entertaining account of an eclectic and adventuresome

This biblical response has to do with Matthew 8:28-32‚ a passage where God meets two possessed men. Matthew tells about this encounter to inform us that God has powers over the spirit world (New International Version). This is what I learned to be the meaning of this passage from going to church. However‚ I can’t help thinking about my son reading this passage. When my son gets upset he is very hard to calm down initially. He seems engulfed with such emotions that he seems possessed by something
