Radiant Face
It's still Friday, right? Travelling to Pittsburgh to see my precious grandkids and a blog post just wasn't top in my mind. When Moses came down from Mount Sinai with the two tablets of the Testimony in his hands, he was not aware that his face was radiant because he had spoken with the LORD.

God made two great lights--the greater light...and the lesser light. God set them in the expanse of the sky to give light on the earth. Genesis 1:16, 17 The sun--it floods our days with light. It's rising and setting are constants when so few things in our lives stay the same. But the sun can't flood our hearts, minds, and souls. Only the Son can fill us with light. For God, who said, "Let light shine out… Read More
