Conch & Crab :: God’s Amazing Handiwork
The wonders of creation just fascinate me. How about you? When I think about the sun or the stars or flowers or animals and creatures and see how amazing and different and unique they all are, I stand back amazed. “The heavens declare the glory of God, the stars proclaim the work of His hands.” [...] Read more »
A Tree for Me
In a movie that I saw not too long ago they had these beautiful little citrus trees planted in terracotta pots. It was love at first sight for me!
