I needed to stop and ponder what I had just read. What does it mean? What does it mean for me? I could just as easily gloss over, put the mind in neutral and somehow miss the significance of these words. "Son of man, these people have set up their idols in their...
Is It Worth It?
There is a hill in Edinburgh, Scotland called Calton Hill. Famous for its historic monuments, it stands tall in the midst of rolling streets and landmarks. On the summit is a National Monument, patterned after the Parthenon in Greece. Also found is a landmark,...
Barely Afloat?
Our condo overlooks the Grand River, with a view that never ceases to amaze me. With coffee and Bible, I greet the early morning from our balcony with the same freshness and expectancy that each day brings. The serenity of the moment is often punctuated by fish...
