Here is the new stamp to use if you're sending a large greeting card, or using a square envelope. It depicts a Baltimore Checkerspot butterfly, one of Maryland's state symbols. How many of us know our official state bug?

Following Jesus is more than keeping rules, but it's not less.
This is what I call a pretty stamp. It makes me want to write a letter and dress up an envelope. How about you?

Has it ever struck you that the moon perfectly covers the sun when it passes between the sun and the earth during an eclipse? And the shadow of the earth perfectly matches the size of the moon when the sun casts earth's shadow on the moon? Given the differences in the sizes of the spheres and the distances between them what is the likelihood that this would happen by chance?

Blessed is he whose hope is in the Lord his God, who made heaven and earth, the sea and all that is in them.
I like words, images, graphic design, well-turned phrases, doodling, humor and profundity. These are found in every quarter and I'm always on the hunt. I was rescued (in November, 1974) from guilt and a stubborn irrational belief in an impersonal chance universe (with the accompanying hopelessness). I'm now convinced that nothing is more obvious or worthy of our attention than our Creator and the one true ancient path. Only Jesus has the words of everlasting life. Like John Newton "I once was lost but now am found, was blind but now I see."
