Appreciated…

What is so terrifying about God? Several things—his transcendence, his power, and his holiness—especially when contrasted with our sinfulness.

Views expressed are always my own and not my employer's, my church's, my family's, my neighbors', or my pets'. The house plants have authorized me to speak for them, however, and they always agree with me.
