On the Far Side of the Sea. One does not discover new lands without losing sight of the shore for a very long time." Andre Gide. Sunday, July 21, 2013. That bratty child named "entitlement". No, okay.") But let's face it, we are all human, we are all soaked in our own worldview, biblical or unbiblical, that silently oozes out of us daily.
