“Then it happened.” When you read that in scripture don’t you expect to have an epiphany? Some grand bright light experience? I can’t promise that always but sometimes it can happen in a flash. Honestly I have kind of struggled today. All I asked God for was for God Speed today. LORD, I only have @ 3-4 hours to get a bunch done today so can you ... Continue Reading »
