Learning to Fly
Yesterday I was walking into the parking lot after church, somewhat weary from the morning's events, when I saw a shadow swiftly pass by on the ground.

Few joys rival that of a fiancée as she admires her diamond ring in the glitter of the sunlight. She basks in the glow of exclusive love.

What Good is Leviticus?
Reading through the book of Leviticus can be a bit tedious. It's packed with a lot of strange rules, many of which seem totally foreign to us. But don't let that confuse you. I remember the time my parents bought a new house. We had never experienced anything like it. Going into a new environment... Continue Reading →
