LIVE AS LIGHT
I, a poet, will now attempt to explain theology through science. (What could possibly go wrong?) I hope the imagery makes sense and would love to hear your thoughts on the topic. Whaddaya think?

chinese water torture
So last night, we were going through our nightly bedtime rituals when, much to our surprise and annoyance, our smoke detectors all started going off. A quick, adrenaline-packed race through the house proved that no fire was burning anywhere, and yet that persistent and piercing siren continued to wail. We reacted like any nice Christian folks would;…
