71 More on the Map

Since these pictures of mine do not blog with great clarity, I decided to lift the words off the picture and submit them to you separately. You see, gentle reader, I found the chapter and verse references practically illegible even with a magnifying glass. And, well, I could not just leave matters like that. Exploring the references with the map graphic is the great experience of this journey of discovery, depicted by the map. But as an extra, I'm also going to go ahead and include the verses themselves. There's nothing like the power of the word to call a new year into focus.

Remember! When I refer to person in the Godhead in any blog, I am referring either to singular person (one-of-three) or to the collective person (three-in-one) of the Triune.
