I stood in the ancient cathedral trying to take all in. The tall stained glass windows threw sunbeams to the floors that bounced back up to the painted ceilings depicting God’s attempt to reach man with a touch. On that day the sunbeams gave the same message, appearing as the arm of God reaching into the room to warm us with His presence.



Most visitors were struck by an expected hush in the room, like that expected when entering a huge library. Overcome by the vision, whispers of…

When I was Chaplain at Florida State Prison I had the opportunity to visit the "death chamber". I'll describe it a couple of ways.

As I entered the chamber I felt as if I wore a gown and mask-- was just taking everything in as if thru binoculars or "virtual tour" - you know, there, but not there.

Everything is in Gods hands and I will stay in his will, direction and…

Deut. 29:29 - "The secret things belong unto the Lord our God: but those things which are revealed belong unto us and to our children for ever, that we may do all the words of this law."

Two types of realities or "things" are mentioned in this verse: The "secret"…
