Wondering

Curiosity is a gift; it leads to awe and wonder — and questions. And questions lead to discoveries and mysteries — and sometimes more questions.

Ask!

Jesus said, "Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you."
    ~ the Gospel of Matthew 7:7
