Thy Word is a Lamp
“Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.” -Psalm 119:105 While making preparations for a camping trip with my family, I realized that I had not packed a flashlight or lantern with all of the other equipment. Of course, I worked quickly to remedy that oversight for the camping […]
