The bark of any tree – oak, ash, or gopher, is what the world sees.  Here I intend to make visible to the eye my occasional thoughts.  This is probably not the medium for things of real weight and substance but I hope that what appears will not be merely superficial  – on the surface but not superfical.

Gopher wood is what Noah was instructed to use as the principal material in constructing the ark.  The name of this site takes its inspiration from that amazing history from the ancient world.  The account in Genesis speaks to us of God, Christ, judgment and salvation, life and education – pretty much everything that matters.
