I have never been a boxer, but ever since I was a child, I have heard that, in the ring, you lead with your left. That is, you position yourself opposite your opponent in such a way that your left glove is out in front. Your right glove is close to your body. You’re always jabbing with

What do you see? I am praying for you and me to get “Tunnel Vision”.
> Not so much with the eye in our head but with the eyes in our heart.” You see, TV is usually a product of high pressure in the eye (glaucoma). This pressure pushes the optic nerve until it cups. With TV there is no peripheral

And dreadful it looked to my view

So together we journeyed it through.
And now I look back to that valley
As the fairest I ever have trod,

And if this is not a place where my spirit can take wings,
Then where shall I go to fly?
I don’t need another place for tryin’

LUCADO ON JOHN 3:16
