a convicting finger right in my face.
Scripture has the power to do that,
you know. It can expose my heart and I
don’t always like it. Do you ever hear a

when this happens. I might research the
ancient culture in an attempt to wiggle my way out of current compliance. However, I’m usually guilty as charged and
need to make a change.

and high shelves?
