Although I have created many complicated bouquets with a wide variety of flowers, I still think the simplicity of one type of flower with some beautiful foliage is the most stunning of all arrangements. Likewise, my favorite verses in the Bible are often simple and to the point and oh so easy to understand.

Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.” (NIV) John 14:6
