(“Yet God, with undeserved kindness, declares that we are
righteous. He did this through Christ Jesus when he freed us from the penalty for
our sins.” Romans 3:24)
I see the most beautiful gem I have ever imagined. It sits on
the second shelf of a jeweler’s case at the weekend flea market. It has been a
hot afternoon, and I have enjoyed rummaging among aging stringed instruments,
rusting toys and aging Life magazines. If I had more time and lived closer, I
would meander through the flea market every Saturday.
