    God wants us to live in the light, not in darkness.

    Some animals especially those in the ocean floor live in darkness. Some of them even do not have eyes since they live in darkness. Today we are going to talk about living in light. When we go outside in the sun and come back to shade, it takes some time for our eyes to get adjusted to the shade. ...read more
