Science has shown us the earth revolves around the sun. So, scientifically speaking…there is no such thing as a sunrise. But for those of us who know we were created by a living, loving, artful God…the sun does rise. A sunrise is a metaphor, an allegory, or even a simile. It’s how our creative minds “see” things. Either as we’d like them to be…or … The rest of the story…
