“The eye is the lamp of the body; so then, if your eye is clear, your whole body will be full of light.”— Matthew 6:22 (ASV) Quite often, I meet others who have the brightest eyes you can imagine. Not only are they shining brightly, they also have ‘depth.’ One sees more than just anContinue reading “The Sparkling Eye”

When I was in my younger days, I recall grandparents telling us children the following: “There is no such a thing as a big or little lie. A lie is a lie—period!” Well, grandpa, what about the ‘little white lie’? Even adults used that title of lie now and then. For instance: Children could beg,Continue reading “Lying the Truth”
