Cartography of Salvation

Cartography of Salvation By Mark D. Stucky No outline on a globe. No page in an atlas. No ink on a road map. No pixels in Google. But parabolically defined by two roads, one wide, one narrow, one seducing toward stealthy corruption, one steering toward a new creation, a cartography of salvation etched in ancient, timeless words. And when we feel lost or take a wrong turn, congested is the highway, but freer is the slender street. So let us choose our exits wisely on those ethereal roundabouts.
