"And when they had come into the house, they saw the young Child with Mary His mother, and fell down and worshiped Him. And when they had opened their treasures, they presented gifts to Him: gold, frankincense, and myrrh." (Matthew 2:11)

Someone once said to me many years ago, "How do you know that all you believe is true?" I said, "How do you know that George Washington crossed the Delaware River during the Revolutionary War?
