Doubting Thomas
Here’s the video of the Nickle Creek song. It’s groovy. If it’s not embedded on this page, click here instead. Here’s what I wonder – and many others have too. Why do we call him doubting? Weren’t all the other disciples equally questionable? How many of them ran to the tomb to greet the risen…
