  • Perelandra, Again

    Sunday Night Journal — May 8, 2011 I was out of town this weekend and didn't get back in time to do any writing, so I am revisiting a couple of old SNJs which had not yet been moved from my original site to this one. I was thinking about Perelandra the other day after reading
