Keep my commandments and live, and keep my law and teaching as the apple (the pupil) of your eye. Proverbs 7:2 Amplified
Last week, I went to the optometrist for a check-up. As a part of the routine eye-exam, she dilated my pupils so that she could look inside my eyes. One of the side effects [...]
