    and they sent the varicolored tunic and brought it to their father and said, “We found this; please examine it to see whether it is your son’s tunic or not.”  Genesis 37:32  NASB Please Examine– I think we should create a new Bible board game.  We could call it CLUE.  We would provide various verses on cards and little…

  • Omnipresence

  • Who’s Watching You?

    I will soon be back in lion country.  Maybe I can meet up with this big boy again. Just thought I would share a view with you today.  We have been straining our minds.  Time for a little visual relief.  Enjoy Shabbat tomorrow.
