ODB: Seeing to Tomorrow

I enjoy gazing up at a cloudless blue sky. The sky is a beautiful part of our great Creator’s masterpiece, given for us to enjoy. Imagine how much pilots must love the view.

ODB: Little Lies and Kittens

So Mom had another question: “Were they soft?”“Yes,” he volunteered, “and the black one mewed.”With a toddler, we smile at such duplicity. But Elias’
