Jesus Deals with Rejection
Rejection is one of the deepest pains of the human heart. To be misunderstood, doubted, criticized, or dismissed can wound us deeply. Yet no one experienced rejection more directly—and responded more faithfully—than Jesus.

How the Pharsighted E9-150S ultra high speed camera changed High-Speed Imaging for Ballistics and Defense Testing
