Like Moths to a Flame

 I have dodged many moths when coming in from outside at night. They gather and flit around the yard light and the porch light. So I did a little research on nocturnal (night time) moths.  Here is what I found.  Most nocturnally active moths are attracted to light sources.  This phenomenon is known as positive phototaxis. Or the bodily movement toward the source of light.

You may feel you’re not ready for that kind of face to face with God.  There are other ways to hear His voice. Through the scripture (read 2 Timothy 3:16-17) We have lots of questions about things.  Are ...
