How Is The Bible Like a Magic Eye?
Magic Eye pictures used to frustrate me! I knew there was a picture in there somewhere--I just couldn’t make it appear. As attractive as the initial abstract image might be, I knew I wouldn't be satisfied until I discovered the hidden picture within. Finally, I got...
Black Belts & The Bible Are Not For The Lazy
