Chasing Aslan in the Real World
Once in a far off kingdom, when the world was young and still smelled new, there was a man who lived close to the King’s Road all of his life. There was always a stream of interesting people from interesting places pacing by his home. From the brightly colored gypsies, to weapon wielding soldiers, to... Continue Reading →
This morning for the Genesis Diaries, I was absolutely planning on moving forward to the next set of verses. I was derailed by something that I read recently.

Now we come to the creation of mankind or, as we have learned, the “making”, the hand crafted fashioning of mankind.
