One eye still has vision, and because it sees what it sees, it feels like it sees everything. ...read more

    The Destructive Nature Of Man’s Human Spirit

    Contributed by Gordon Brownlee on Apr 14, 2025

Within that journey we record what our eyes perceive as beauty, what our hearts cherish as food for the soul and what our spirit learns of eternity. Hence every endeavor in life relies upon body, ...read more
