EXCERPT: "This past Sunday morning I walked out onto the deck, the morning sun warm on the planks beneath my bare feet. Absent were the normal work day sounds. No roar of traffic, no loud mechanical buzzings of weed whackers, saws or lawnmowers.

Chosen blindness to the clear instruction or Torah of God had robbed me of this blessing and the opportunity to keep the terms of The Covenant of our God. Somewhere along the line, someone said, "Did God really say?" And the rest is history.
