My friends and family often see playing video games as a waste of time.

"Come on, let's go play outside," My two brothers and sister would say to me as I played through the game "Glover" on my Nintendo 64. Throughout the years of me playing...

Almost every day was a day of feasts for a saint. The earliest feast days of saints were those of martyrs, venerated as having shown for Christ the...
