What I See In Me Very often, when I look in the mirror, what I see in me isn’t what I’d prefer to see. Does that happen to you? Yeah, when I look at myself with my own limited understanding, what I see in me is my less-than-pristine past. I see my limitations.

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.

Well, it’s already August 1 2014. Can you believe more than half of this year is in the history books?
