It is good to be back at sea-level…

When God uses metaphorical language in the Bible, its meaning really takes hold when you experience the metaphor itself. For example, God says we are in darkness until our eyes are opened and we see the world through the Holy Spirit’s council. This metaphor has a lot more meaning when you attempt to find your way around a room that you’ve never been in that is 100% devoid of any light. Psalm 40:2 says He set my feet upon a rock making my footsteps firm. This has taken on a deeper level of understand after coming down from a place that is not exactly “firm”.

And no, that is not the exact ship I was on, I just liked the picture.
