When I say the word dimensions, what do you think of? Without looking it up, my first thought was a memory of my grandmother measuring out a pattern for a new sewing project. And then I thought about needing a new podcast desk in my office and how I had to measure the space to make sure I bought one that would fit perfectly. Dimensions, by definition, describes measurement in width, length, and thickness. It can also describe the scope or importance of something. I like both of these descriptions because they equally stretch our imagination when we use the word dimensions in regard to spiritual things.
