When Ralph and I were in Hawaii, we booked a helicopter ride with a company that had just been issued a new glass-bottom helicopter. We began our adventure on Kawaii and flew over to the island of Molokai. We were flying approximately 200 feet above the water, so the pilot stated, however, it looked more

Usually, the word “legacy” suggests money or property that is left by a family member or really close friend at the time of their death.

Tears flow down my cheeks. Manifestations of two diametrically opposed emotions that pierce my soul-profound grief, yet unspeakable joy. The Queen is dead yet RISEN. I am watching BBC news, following the trajectory of the funeral of this great woman as she is laid to rest in the vault at Windsor castle. https://www.pbs.org/newshour/world/watch-live-queen-elizabeth-iis-state-funeral.

I have often wondered in amazement about the writers of the Bible—how God inspired them to record His Word for His purposes of guiding, instructing, blessing, and inspiring people for countless years in the future—how they responded to their most sacred charge of accurately documenting the message of God’s plan of redemption of humanity. The writers,

Too often when people hear the word, “fear,” they interpret it negatively—it does not always have the undesirable connotations that first come into our minds.
