Galleries, Museums, And Other Valuable Treasures




As I walked thru the exhibits of one of the newest and finest galleries in Washington DC,
I was solemnly REMINDED, and warmly invited to REDISCOVER:

It's presence is all around us! 
It's truths are hidden in plain sight and even found in the most unexpected places! 
No other book in history has had a greater impact!
The most widely published book ever!
Read by people in thousands of languages all over the world!
IT.  IS.  THE.  BIBLE! 


Yes, the impact of the bible still resonates throughout American culture.  It's influence is deeply rooted in EVERY facet of our society as well as in the quiet habits of everyday life for many Americans.  How it has been written, preserved and translated thru the ages is powerfully sacred and awe-inspiring.

Equally fitting to this incredible experience:  https://www.museumofthebible.org/   is the fact I could share it with friends who have had incredible impact on my life and the life of my family. Their influence has deeply affected the habits of everyday life.  How our stories of friendship have been written, preserved and translated thru every distant mile and every changing season is a rare find, a precious jewel, but certainly no surprise... at the very center has been and still is, the sharing of God's Word Together!

sitting under an olive tree
The law of the LORD is perfect, restoring the soul;
The testimony of the LORD is sure, making wise the simple.
The precepts of the LORD are right, rejoicing the heart;
The commandment of the LORD is pure, enlightening the eyes.
The fear of the LORD is clean, enduring for ever;
The ordinances of the LORD are true, they are righteous altogether;
More to be desired are they than gold, yea, than much fine gold;
Sweeter also than honey and the honeycomb.
JPS Tanakh 1917

Your word is a lamp to my feet And a light to my path. Psalm 119:105 NASV

“A sweet friendship refreshes the soul.” – Proverbs 27:9



Today, I pray that your life exhibits a gallery filled with Treasured Friends, walking together in the beauty, the grace and the redemption of God's Word.  There is nothing Greater!
