Exploring Christ’s perspective

Science and Faith complement each other.

Other patterns in complex harmonies, reveal themselves only from unique perspectives. Like flying, for example.

A mobile world, winding on dark, tree lined roads and empty freeway ramps. The terminal entered our small orb with a wash of light. Welcome as the next journey step, but a disagreeable intruder none the less. read more ...
