I am steeped in the Song of Solomon these days. What is the spiritual significance behind all those agricultural analogies? As I learn, I am discovering . . .

We have just returned from Yellowstone and the Grand Tetons National parks. I am always impressed by how near God seems in nature. I love to hike through the trees with the scent of the pines. I marvel at God’s handiwork in the majestic mountains . . .
