“God's glory is on tour in the skies, God-craft on exhibit across the horizon.  Madame Day holds classes every morning, Professor Night lectures each evening.  Their words aren't heard, their voices aren't recorded, but their silence fills the earth: unspoken truth is spoken everywhere.  God makes a huge dome for the sun - a superdome!  The morning sun's a new husband leaping from his...

“At the foot of the mountain, a large crowd was waiting for them.  A man came and knelt before Jesus and said, “Lord, have mercy on my son.  He has seizures and suffers terribly.  He often falls into the fire or into the water.  So, I brought him to your disciples, but they couldn’t heal him.”  Jesus said, “You faithless and corrupt people!  How long must I be with you?  How...
