Why are you troubled?


And why do questions arise in your hearts?
Look at my hands and my feet, that it is I myself.
Touch me and see, because a ghost does not have flesh and
bones as you can see I have.
LUKE 24:38-39

He has flesh and bones

most clever and powerful
social commentaries to current media events.
