A certain man was sitting in service on a Sunday morning and noticed up on the platform (high place, altar) was an arrangement of flowers which was once a delight to look at and a blessing to the platform. As he stared at the flowers, he noticed that they were almost entirely dried out and...

The Life of a Snowflake…
With the proper mix of wind and rain (or air and moisture droplets for your poetic license killing meteorologists) births us a snowflake. Unique in shape…none like it…yet like any other snowflake.

On Wings of Wonder
“…He has put eternity in their hearts, except that no one can find out the work that God does from beginning to end.” (Eccl. 3:11) Murmuration.

I looked down at the ground and observed some...
