On a dresser beside our bed, there is a giant Bible that we gave each other for a wedding present more than 40 years ago. It’s very pretty, but it's not the “go to” for either of us for Bible study or devotional reading. Early in our marriage my "go to" was a small leather King James Version...

The other evening, Joel and I had dinner with some dear friends and the conversation turned to "Les Misérables." We had seen the film; they had not. They asked what we thought about it. Joel summarized it perfectly and succinctly, “Squalid nobility. Harshness overcome by grace. Inspiring.” I...
