    Is our world restricted to what we can see? What if there was another dimension? Activity . . . but we only catch glimpses. We need to open our eyes and see the unseen.

    I. Introduction I recently read this statement about loss of sight. Vision problems may signal serious health conditions, and they can increase your risk for injury or death. I asserted last week that we have become so consumed with earthly things and in a knee jerk response to seeing demons behind ...read more
